Our practice is limited to the specialty of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Gynecological Oncology (female cancer) which is the examination, diagnosis and treatment of women's health problems.
We encourage you to call the office when you have a problem or a question. The best time to call for non-emergencies is 8-10 a.m. and 4-5 p.m. when your records are readily available and the receptionist will either schedule an appointment or channel your call to the proper person.
We encourage patients needing prescription refill or authorization for prescription renewals be made during office hours. This enables the physician to review your chart to make sure that a refill is the best course of treatment. It is also a good idea to have your pharmacist's phone number available in case we want to discuss the medication with the pharmacist.
If you call concerning a laboratory report or progress report on your condition, we will try to give you a specific date and time to call so the doctor who is primarily concerned with your problem will be available to discuss it with you at that time.
All your medical records are confidential. We will release the records or any parts of them only if you give us a written authorization. No matter what the circumstances, we will not release the records unless we have some notification from you that you wish us to do so.
