If waiting brieflly will be an inconvenience, please check with the receptionist to reschedule your appointment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BILLING AND PAYMENT Our fees are within the customary range for this area and reflect the level of care you receive. This is determined by the number of problems addressed during the visit, the level of expertise needed and the length of time the provider spends with you. We make every effort to control our overhead expenses and the costs of health care. You can help us by paying upon the completion of each visit. It is required by the insurance companies that any co-payment required is paid at the time of the visit. Payment for special tests or minor surgery may be delayed until insurance forms have been processed. Payments may be made by cash, check, MasterCard, Visa or Discover.
