Many forms of insurance coverage require a co-pay and/or a deductible to be collected from the patient. Our office policy is to collect your co-pay ordeductible at the time of your office visit.

Please familiarize yourself with your insurance policy and the company's requirements before arriving for your appointment.

You will be charged a fee of $25.00 for NSF bank fees/returned checks.

Some insurance plans require a referral from your child's pediatrician (or PCP for our adult patients).Please check with your insurance company to determine if this applies to your plan. If it does, please bring the referral to the appointment.

If a referral is required but is not received the appointment will be unecessarily delayed and may ultimately need to be rescheduled.

If there is any difficulty keeping the appointment, please call our office at least 24 hours in advance so that your visit may be rescheduled in a timely manner. This will also allow the time to be given to another patient.

You will incur a $30.00 fee for any missed appointments if we are not notified in advance.

Each new patient and patients returning for their annual visits will require the instillation of an eye drop(s) to dilate the pupil for examination of the inside of the eye and to allow an accurate measurement for glasses. This eye drop may sting for a brief period and will decrease the eye's ability to focus at near for a few hours. When drops are used the examination is divided into two parts and you should expect your office visit to last approximately 1 - 2 hours.

The doctors make a sincere effort to stay on time for your appointment; however, uncontrollable factors and unexpected or complicated problems make a precise schedule almost impossible to keep. Additionally, patients with emergency problems will frequently need to be added to our daily schedule, creating unavoidable delays. If we are behind schedule for your appointment, please accept our apologies and try to be patient. One day the emergency patient may be your child. We sincerely thank you!
