All patients must be seen at least once a year to remain an active patient in our medical practice. The Consultation appointment may be done online via telehealth (Doxy.me, Skype, Zoom). It is preferred that the Initial Consultation appointment be a face-to-face appointment. If the patient cannot be physically present in the Initial Visit, a face-to-face visit must be arranged within a year.

Scheduling

To be scheduled an appointment, you must complete our fillable Patient Registration packet. Once we receive back your completed packet, we will contact you for the appointment. You will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader to complete the forms.

A non-refundable Scheduling Fee of $125.00 is required to book an appointment; it will be
applied towards your total consultation fee. Please submit the packet at least 7 days prior to a  scheduled appointment. Failure to submit at a timely basis will result in automatic cancellation of your appointment and forfeiture of the non-refundable Scheduling Fee. A new Scheduling Fee will then be required when rescheduling. If the whole Patient Registration packet has been submitted, you are all set.

A scheduled appointment is reserved for you exclusively. Our office prepares for each
appointment prior to your visit to ensure high standard of care and treatment. We expect that you will respect our policy regarding appointment cancellations and rescheduling.
