OFFICE HOURS

The office is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. If you need help outside of regular office hours, please call our Aiken office at (803) 641-4874.

PRESCRIPTIONS

When calling our office for prescription refills, please have the pharmacy telephone number, the name, size and dosage schedule of the medication available. Please call for refills during office hours to ensure your chart is revised.

NEW PATIENTS

We prefer to have new patients referred to us by another physician. We will however, be happy to see patients directly whose medical history, symptoms or family medical history suggest the possibility of cardiovascular disease. When you call for an appointment, please provide any pertinent information regarding your situation. This is very important in order for us to give priority to your needs and reserve sufficient time for your visit.

All patients who have had a chest X-ray or laboratory work outside our office within the last six months are asked to bring a copy of the results to our office at the time of their visit.

BILLING DEPARTMENT

We file primary and secondary insurance claims as a courtesy to our patients. We participate in Medicare, Medicaid and most commercial insurance companies. Co-pays are expected, when necessary, at the time of service. For patients without insurance coverage, a payment plan can be easily arranged with a simple telephone call. We gladly accept payment with cash, check, Mastercard, VISA and Discover. Once a patient's balance is established, a statement for payment will be sent.
