Welcome
to Our Practice!
Our five general surgeons and physician assistant provide the highest quality patient care and full range of general and bariatric surgical procedures.
On your first visit, you will meet with our registration staff prior to seeing your provider. Please bring your current insurance card(s) and insurance information and picture ID. We also ask that you bring an active credit card, debit card, FSA, or an HSA card for any copays or deductibles that remain on your account after we bill your insurance company.
It is also very important that you bring with you all information related to your diagnosis and treatment of your condition. This may include X-rays, test results, chart notes, current medications, pathology and/or operative reports.

HealthCare MyWay is a confidential and secure web-based system for you to communicate with our offices.
HealthCare MyWay makes it easy and convenient to submit non-emergency communications in just a few minutes and at your convenience!
Once you are an established patient with our office and registered with Healthcare MyWay, you can quickly and easily request/cancel office appointments, request a lab or test result, request medication refills, request a referral, or notify us of a change of address or insurance.
Once you ask your provider to communicate with you using HealthCare My Way, your provider, a provider-designated user or authorized member of a provider group may review your health record and adjust it and respond to your messages. If you have granted your provider access to your HealthCare My Way record, you should not assume that your provider is actively reviewing changes and you should actively communicate changes that concern you and your provider.
