Our practice goal and policy is to provide for you, to the best of our abilities, a comprehensive interaction with your physician that leaves you informed and satisfied that your needs have been met. For this reason, we allow ample time for each appointment. New patients can be assured that they will receive a full hour of attention and returning patients are generally allotted a half-hour or more as needed. Routine screening visits uncomplicated by specific problems may be shorter.
Our approach to medical practice recognizes the importance of accessibility and timeliness. Our patients all receive a comprehensive communications plan to enable contact with your physician when needed. We also provide as rapid a response to pending test results as possible as we appreciate the anxiety often associated with unnecessary waiting. You should and can expect our office to run on time. We respect your own time constraints and guarantee a timely appointment schedule.
Our practice emphasizes full utilization of available alternatives to surgery. Modern medicine has provided many new approaches to problems that formerly required surgical intervention. Many once-hazardous procedures have been replaced by minor office-based interventions. However, if you have a situation where surgical intervention is the appropriate approach, we will provide ample opportunity for you to discuss this with us and will not hesitate to refer you to one of the many expert surgeons in our area if you so desire.
