Do I need a referral?
Only if your insurance company requires it.  If you have a PPO plan, you most likely don't need a referral.  HMO's are more likely to need a referral.  If you are not certain, please call your insurance company to ind out.  The office of your family doctor can often fax a referral to us in advance.  Please obtain this before your visit, as most insurance companies will not accept a request for referralafter the service has been rendered.

Are we accepting new patients?
