Our
office hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday
through Friday. To schedule an appointment,
please call our receptionist at 404-508-4320 We
ask that you please give us a 24-hour notice if
you cannot make a scheduled appointment.
General surgery, by its very nature, must deal
with a variety of urgent or emergency
situations, making it difficult to maintain a
strict appointment schedule. If your
appointment is delayed due to another patient's
emergency, we will do our utmost to minimize any
inconvenience to you.
FEES, BILLING AND INSURANCE
Payment for office visits and services is
expected at the time of your visit, unless your
insurance plan contracts otherwise. We will be
happy to discuss any questions you may have
regarding our fees. Please don't hesitate to
ask us if you have any questions or concerns.
If your insurance plan calls for a co-pay, it
is expected at the time of your visit.
Your insurance company will be billed directly
for surgical procedures, so payment from the
insurance company may be made directly to us.
This is known as accepting assignment. After
the insurance company has paid its portion, the
balance is billed to the patient. In order for
us to offer this service, we ask that you
provide us with a copy of your insurance card on
your first office visit. Also, it is necessary
for you to keep us informed of any changes
which may affect your insurance status.
Our practice participates in many managed care
insurance plans. We are also a participating
provider with Medicare and Medicaid. Please
check with our office staff for details.
We can also accommodate patients who have no
insurance. Please advise our office staff at the
time of your first visit so that payment
arrangements can be made.
You can reach the doctors at any time by
calling the office at 404-508-4320. Please limit
after- hours calls to emergencies and
post-operative difficulties. If you are
experiencing a life-threatening emergency, you
should immediately go to the nearest hospital
emergency room or call 911.
