Dear Patient,

Our practice is now offering secure email. It's fast, easy, and will save you time and money!

Welcome to Our Virtual Office!

We know that coming in for an office visit is not always convenient and has a real cost to you as a patient. Co-payments, gas, lost wages, child care and other "hard-dollar" costs for office visits add up. We are sensitive to these costs and understand your time is valuable.

What is a Virtual Office visit?
While most appointments require you and your physician to be in the same room, there are many instances where you can be provided with as much, or more individualized information without a face-to-face meeting. Some specific examples include:

~Advice on changes in your particular medical situation

~Gathering information options for treatment with suggestions for further evaluation or therapy

~monitoring medications required to treat your pain

We value you as a patient. Respecting your privacy is extremely important to us. That is why we have chosen a Secure Messaging System. Our online office visits, also known as "Ask a Question" and the modest associated fee, is designed not only for your convenience, but also to save you money when your questions, that previously required an office visit, can be adequately answered online. Our virtual office may not be the ideal service for all patients, but it will serve the needs of many and we are happy to offer this new service and convenience to our established patients.
