How to become a Patient

To help make your first visit to our practice as smooth as possible, please read through our web page. You'll find everything you need. You need not print anything out.

We take most major medical insurance!

Your insurance company may require that you obtain a referral from your current healthcare provider before becoming a patient. Please check your policy. We may need to obtain authorization from your insurance company before scheduling your appointment.

Scheduling your first Appointment

You may request an appointment directly through our website appointments link or by phoning us. Or, if you prefer, your current healthcare provider (primary care provider/dentist, etc.) can manage your referral to us for you. If you have questions along the way, please feel free to talk with us through our chat feature (bottom right on your screen).
