Examinations:
The length of your examination will vary depending on your medical or surgical problem.
We make every effort to stay on time with the appointment schedule, but emergencies and complex medical problems sometimes create delays.
Patients with urgent problems may occasionally need to be seen out of turn.
We ask for and appreciate your patience should a wait be necessary.
If time is critical to your schedule, please notify one of our receptionists and they will be happy to reschedule your appointment. |
