Disclosure of Health Information
We will use and disclose Health Information only with your written permission.

Telephone Calls
During office hours, all medical calls are triaged by our staff. If they cannot help
you, they will take a detailed message and relay your request or concern to the
clinician. If you are sick and need to be seen sooner than a scheduled
appointment, the best time to call is between 8:30 and 11:00 am. PLEASE do not
come to the office without calling first.
Our office visits are set appointments so that you may be allocated the proper time
for your clinical concerns.
When making appointments, please let our staff know if you have a preference for a
particular clinician, location and what type of appointment you will need. There
maybe a charge for all non-cancelled appointments (see below).
Cancellations/No Shows
If you cannot keep your appointment, please notify us as soon as it is feasible. This
allows another patient to see the clinician at that available time. The fee attached
to late cancellations is decided by the clinician.
- 48-hour notice is required for all full sessions or late cancellation fee may
apply.
- 24-hour notice is required for all half sessions or late cancellation fee may
apply.
Refill Requests
We prefer that prescription requests be made from our office Monday through
Friday during regular office hours. In cases that are urgent and cannot wait until the
next business day, you can call the emergency number listed on the phone
message. When calling for a refill please give your name, dosage amount, and how
often you take the medication, as well as the phone number of your pharmacy.
Test Results & Confidentiality
The physician and patient relationship is an important foundation of your
healthcare. Clinical practice requires mutual understanding, respect and
confidence. It is for that reason that we will not give out any information regarding
our patients to anyone, including family members without the written consent of the
patient, if the patient is older than 18 years of age. Release of Information forms
are available at the front desk.
If you need to call us with questions about your lab test results, please call after
12:00 pm. Our telephones are usually the busiest between 9:00 and 11:30 am. This
will hopefully alleviate the amount of time you may be placed on hold.
