Good questions

Most Common Questions

How can I book an initial consultation?

You can book through the form on this page, by phone, or via your insurer's referral system. New patient slots are typically available within 7–10 business days.

Do you offer second opinions?

Yes. I review imaging and lab work in advance and provide a written second-opinion report within 5 business days, available in person or via telemedicine.

What should I bring to my first visit?

Please bring your most recent lab results (within 90 days), a list of current medications and any previous imaging on a CD or via secure upload before the visit.
