Scheduling
Appointments
We realize that our patients’ time is valuable, and we make every effort to see patients at their scheduled time. However, occasionally, our office falls behind schedule.
We ask for your understanding; we, also, ask that patients provide as much advanced notice as possible when running late
for an appointment or when needing to cancel. With this advanced notice, the time can be scheduled for another patient.

Insurance:
We are out of network with all insurance carriers by design so we can place patient care first. For surgeries performed at a hospital or accredited surgical center, federal law requires insurance companies to apply the same deductible and cost-sharing structure that would apply in-network when you have out-of-network benefits.
For office visits and in-office procedures, we provide transparent prompt pay- based model pricing listed below. In many cases, our direct-pay fees are significantly less expensive than going through insurance, allowing patients to receive high-quality personalized care without large hospital charges, safely performed in our office

Insurance:
We are out of network with all insurance carriers. After 44 years in practice, I made the decision to move to a prompt pay-based model because insurance companies too often limit or delay the care, I believe our patients need. By being out of network by design, I can focus entirely on providing timely, high-quality treatment without compromise. For surgeries performed at a hospital or accredited surgical center, federal law requires that—when out-of-network benefits are available—your insurance applies the same deductible and cost-sharing structure as if the care were in network.
For office visits and in-office procedures, we provide transparent cash pricing listed below.
