APPOINTMENTS
We
realize that many of you desire to have a specific physician responsible
for your care. This is our desire as well. One of the advantages of having
several
Doctors available to you is that, if your doctor is unable to see you on
a given day, you may choose to see another Doctor.
When your Doctor indicates that he wishes you to return at a later time for an
additional examination or conference, be sure to make arrangements at the appointment
desk at that time for that visit.
Please do not drop in and expect to be seen immediately without an appointment.
It is only fair to others to allow them their regular time. Our Walk-In Policy
indicates that this office is an appointment clinic. Patients who walk in without
an appointment will be seen when there is a free time slot. If you feel you need
urgent attention, please inform us. We will make every effort to keep your wait
as short as possible, however those patients who have a booked appointment will
be seen first.
Please make separate appointments for individual members of your family.
If we discover that your Doctor will be delayed, we may find it necessary to
reschedule your appointment. Every attempt will be made to notify you. Please
give a telephone number where you may be reached when you make your appointment.
We will try to honor your appointment time, for we firmly believe in the value
of your time and will try to avoid long waiting periods in our office. Please
try to understand, however, that in our practice, surgical delays, emergency
patients, etc may occasionally cause unforeseen delays, and we request your
indulgence.
Because certain procedures require additional time, please try and allot enough
time for your office visit so that it does not conflict with any other obligations
you may have.
When you call our office for any appointment, please let the Receptionist know
briefly what your problem is so that she will know how much time to set aside.
NOTE: Clinic being only a few hours on Wednesday (from 8:00 to 11:30p.m.)that
day will primarily be for emergencies and problems arising on that day.
