WELCOME
We are pleased that you have selected our office to serve your needs in the field of Orthopedic Surgery. It is our continuing goal to provide you with the most comprehensive and up-to-date health care possible. It is important that our patients become partners with us in their own ongoing health care. Should you have any questions regarding your treatment or office procedures, please express them to our trained professional staff.

YOUR FIRST VISIT
If you are a new patient, you will receive an information form and a medical history form to complete upon signing into our office. It is important that you bring a list of all medications that you are presently taking. You might be asked to arrive a little early for your scheduled appointment in order for us to update your patient file. Please have authorization approvals before appointment time.

OFFICE HOURS
Our office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. We have someone available at all times during these hours to assist you should the need arise.

TELEPHONE
In Fort Myers, our telephone number is 768-2272. After office hours and on week-ends and holidays, we have a 24-hour answering service for your safety and convenience. Our answering service will relay your concerns to the doctor on call and he will return your call. We request that office business, such as appointment scheduling, billing matters, and prescription requests be addressed during regular office hours.

APPOINTMENTS
We ask that you please realize that all patients do not require the same amount of time to be seen by the doctor. Therefore, a Post-op patient or a patient scheduled for a return visit maybe be taken before a New Patient or patient requiring fracture care. We also, occasionally, have Emergency conditions arise which may result in minor "In Office Surgical" treatment. When this occurs, please bear with us, every patient's care is important to us.
