Phone Calls
Every phone call is important to us and we will attempt to answer your calls and return your phone messages as promptly as possible. We appreciate your patience should you have to wait on hold or leave a voice mail message. Our phone lines are busiest in the early morning hours, especially on Monday mornings. If you do not need to contact the office immediately, we recommend calling the office at a later time during the day. Phone messages will be returned on the same business day as soon as the physician is available. Please leave a phone number where you know we will be able to reach you. If you call for an urgent matter, we will make every effort to respond immediately. All messages are reviewed by the physician; however, your call may be returned by a medical assistant or staff member.
Please be aware that our providers will not leave their scheduled patients to return routine phone calls; these are generally answered after patient care sessions are finished.

Referrals
When your provider suggests a specialist evaluation or diagnostic testing that requires a referral, set up your appointment and call our referral line (option 1) to leave a message.
When leaving a message for a referral, please include the following information: Your name, phone number, your doctor's name, the name of the doctor or test requested, the date of the appointment or test for which you need the referral, your insurance information, and if you prefer to have it mailed to you or if you will pick it up.

Prescription Refills
-
When calling for a routine prescription refill, please allow 24 hours for your prescription to be called into the pharmacy. Routine prescriptions are those that have been prescribed to you and are taken every day.

EMR is a software storehouse of a patient's medical history — tests, diagnoses chronic conditions, prescriptions, physician comments, etc. — accessible anytime and never buried in an avalanche of paperwork.
