Welcome, new patients

We are glad you are here. Below is everything you need for a smooth first visit, plus quick links to insurance, prep instructions, and our patient portal.

What to expect

Your first visit includes a conversation about your health, a review of your medical history, a physical examination, and, if needed, scheduling for a procedure. Procedures are typically not performed on the day of your initial consultation.

We ask for 24 hours notice to cancel an office visit and three business days notice to cancel a procedure.
