FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

 

“The one who asks questions does not lose his way.” – Akan proverb

Do you accept patients with insurance?

 

Yes, we accept patients with insurance, but the patient is responsible for 100% of our cost whether they are being seen on a one-time basis or signing up for a one-year membership. We will provide the necessary documentation for a patient to file a claim with their insurance company. This helps us to keep our cost down.

Can I walk in for an appointment?

 

We don’t have the capability to see patients who decide to walk in because our schedule is set in advance. It is best to call as soon as the office opens to see if we have had any cancellations. Patients are seen by appointment only.

When I leave a voicemail message, sometimes it take a long time to get a callback. Why?

 

We have a small staff of three employees, Dr. Graham, our nurse and office manager. We often assist each other. The patient in the exam room is our highest priority. We do recommend that you call back if you have not received a response within an hour. If it’s not urgent, send an email, too. We do get to calls as soon as we can.

When I need refills of my medications, should I call the office?

 

It is actually easier and quicker if you contact the pharmacy when you need refills. Even if you do not have refills left, the pharmacy will contact our office to authorize the renewal of your prescription. It is a good practice to call in your refills at least 48 hours before you run out of your medication.
