Other important notes about your upcoming appointment:
Please arrive about 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time so that we can get all of your information entered into our electronic health care records database. We may also need to obtain authorization from your insurance company upon your arrival.
If you were last seen by another doctor, we may have you sign a release of information at your appointment to obtain information about your eye health, latest prescription, contact lens brands, etc.
Appointments can be expected to last at least an hour, due to the thoroughness of our services.
If you wear any glasses- prescription or pharmacy readers- please bring them with you.
If you wear contact lenses, please inform the staff when you call to make an appointment. Also, you should have them in your eyes prior to your arrival and bring your contact lense case and glasses with you. If they were fitted at another office, please bring the box with prescription information to your appointment.
Many of our patients and staff have severe sensitivities to scents, so we request that you refrain from using perfume, cologne, lotion, or other scented products on the day of your appointment. Thank you!
