Scheduling Appointments
Appointments are required for all office visits. You may contact us by phone for an office visit, and we will schedule an appointment for you as quickly as possible. At the time of the call, you will be asked to describe your symptoms and/or medical problem. Medical insurance information must also be provided at this time. Call 1.888.KNEE HIP to make an appointment or with any questions you might have. Office staff is available from 9 A.M. until 4 P.M.

First Visits
Please arrive approximately 30 minutes in advance of your appointment. This is necessary in order to complete the appropriate medical and insurance forms. Please bring any pertinent test results with you, including medical reports and films of all X-ray studies and scans. Also bring a list of all current medications you are taking and a copy of any previous operative reports (if you have had joint surgery).

Canceling Appointments
Please call at least 24 hours ahead to cancel any scheduled appointment. There is a waiting list for appointments and we need to notify other patients that an opening has occurred. We will be happy to reschedule your appointment.

Appointments should not be made for non-medical issues such as obtaining copies of office notes and for requesting letters. Phoning or faxing your request is sufficient.
