How can a patient schedule surgery?

All patients should request an appointment for all instances, whether you haven’t discussed surgery in detail, would like to discuss surgery further, or have previously discussed the surgery.

Can patient paperwork be filled out online before a visit?
  • It is strongly recommended that a patient fills out patient paperwork online ahead of time. Doing so will expedite the check-in process. The patient paperwork forms are to be completed on the Patient Portal. This is accessible by clicking on the link or visiting our website and clicking on the patient portal link at the top of the page. When an appointment is scheduled, an email will be sent with an access code for the portal, which a patient will use along with their birthday to enter the portal. A patient will also receive a reminder phone call, where the access code will be provided again.
  • For first-time patients, there are several documents that need to be completed: Demographics, Medical and Social History, Health Review, and a form detailing the history of the problem wished to be evaluated (Visit Reason). For the Visit Reason form, the patient will select the “Initial Visit” form.
  • Returning patients should review the information on the Demographics, Medical and Social History, and Health Review pages and make any necessary changes or updates. They should also complete the appropriate Visit Reason form: Initial Visit (for a new problem), Follow-up Visit, or Post-op Visit.
