Please arrive 15 minutes early to allow time for registration and bring your insurance card with you. For Medicare patients, please bring your Medicare card and a secondary insurance card if you have one.

If you wear glasses, please bring them to your appointment. In order to have the most up-to-date medical information about each patient, it would be a great help to us if you can bring a list of all your current systemic and eye medications to your initial visit.

If you are unable to keep an appointment, we ask that you kindly provide us with at least 48 hours' notice. This courtesy on your part will make it possible to give your appointment time to another patient or avoid overbooking. Same day appointment cancellation or no-show is subject to a cancellation fee.

New patient visits usually will last 1-1.5 hours and your eyes may be dilated. Plan to have someone drive you home if you think you won’t be able to drive safely with your eyes dilated. Family members are always welcome to sit in on your exam if you wish them there.

If you want to have a contact lens exam, please tell our receptionist at the time of scheduling. Please bring a copy of your contact lens prescription, contact lens box, and contact lenses with you if you have a pair. If you have a pair of back-up glasses, please bring them too.

We work with Medicare and most PPO insurance providers so that you can get the care you need. We will gladly help you understand how your insurance processes your medical visit so you don’t get any unexpected fees.
