Appointments

Because surgery and other professional commitments occasionally take the doctors away from the office, we suggest that your appointment be scheduled in advance. Our office staff is available from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm every weekday to assist you in scheduling your office visit or surgery.

We understand the inconvenience of interrupting your day with a visit to the doctor's office. Our office staff fully recognizes the value of your time and we will do everything possible to keep you from waiting unnecessarily. Unfortunately, our routine is occasionally interrupted by emergencies and we ask for your patience and understanding if we run behind schedule.

If you are unable to keep your scheduled appointment, we request that you contact our office as soon as possible. Your thoughtfulness will allow another patient the opportunity to benefit from our services.

Referrals

Some insurance plans require a referral from your primary care physician before seeing a specialist. Please make sure that you have the proper paper work and any required copay when you arrive for your visit.

The nicest compliment that our practice can receive is the referral of one patient by another. Referrals by your family and friends reflect satisfaction and confidence in the care we provide. Please let us know who referred you to our practice so we may appropriately thank them.

If you were referred to our office by your physician, please let us know immediately. It is important to us that constant communication is maintained with your physician's office and that he or she is kept informed of your progress throughout the course of your treatment.

Professional Fees

Most services that we provide are covered by your medical insurance. Our fees are determined by insurance company guidelines and are comparable to those of other specialists in the Kansas City area. To simplify the insurance process, we will be more than happy to file your insurance forms for you.

It is important that you refer to your insurance policy regarding possible requirements such as referral from your primary care physician or a second opinion before surgery. We encourage you to become familiar with the terms and conditions of your policy, because ultimately, the responsibility for payment is the patient's.
