Professional staff are available to take your calls during

volume, it may be necessary to put you on hold. Please indicate
when asked if you are unable to hold the line.

Prescription Refills
All refills requested by phone must be called in 24 hours in

the pharmacy late in the afternoon. Please notify us at your
office visit if prescriptions are due to be refilled. You can
also request a prescription
renewal online.
Appointments
Calls to schedule appointments should be made during office
hours listed above. Sick appointments fill up quickly, so we
recommend that you call early in the day.
What if Hospitalization is Required?
In general, the doctors admit their patients to Lourdes
Hospital. If for some reason you prefer to be admitted elsewhere,
discuss this with your doctor. Our physicians have admitting
privileges to all hospitals in the area. If hospitalization is
necessary, the decision will be mutually made between the physician
and the patient as to which facility to use. Our physicians do not
round on our patients at the hospital but have coverage
arrangements with full-time hospitalist physicians. Be sure to
contact your insurance plan, especially if you belong to an
HMO.
Missed Appointments
Please call the office 24 hours in advance if you are unable to
keep an appointment. Providers have a daily preset schedule.
Arriving late to your appointment will delay other appointments and
you may be asked to reschedule. Walk-ins are discouraged and can
result in long wait times because scheduled appointments will
be seen first.
Reminders
- Insurance cards must be presented at the time of visit.
- Co-payments are expected at the time of visit.
- All insurance companies require us to verify all identifying
information at the time you present for each visit to prevent
errors that might result in a rejection of payment by your
insurer.
- Information about financial
assistance is available by calling 607-798-5506 or
607-798-5229.
Patient Satisfaction
As a medical group, we cannot overemphasize the importance of
close communication between patient and physician. Please report to
us any complaint you might have about our services or failure to
meet your needs. We will do our best to correct the situation. We
are here to serve you with the best medical care possible. Please
let us help you!
