Making appointments

Patients may be seen by appointment only. Our appointment desk is open Monday through Friday form 8:30AM until 4:30PM. For your convenience, appointments and follow up visits are also available through our email service at info@gulfcoastpain.com.

The initial visit 

On your initial visit, we will begin a medical record file. It is highly recommended that you bring your current (not more than a year old) x‑rays, MRI's, CT scans, and myelogram films along with the interpretive reports. It is important that you bring a list of the medications you are currently taking, as well as a list of any drug allergies that you may have. Please bring any old medical records that are relevant to your painful disorder.  If you are currently receiving pain medications from another physician, such as narcotics, please bring their office notes with you.  No narcotics will be prescribed without these notes.  

You will be given a new patient packet to fill out prior to your initial visit. We ask that you have these forms filled out upon arrival to our office, to expedite your visit. We would like you to bring your current insurance cards and driver's license or form of identification. If you have specific insurance questions, it would be helpful to check your insurance company before your appointment. Our staff will also be available to help you with your questions. All necessary referrals must be obtained prior to your appointment, or you will not be able to be seen, this is your insurance company’s policy. 

Prescriptions and Renewals

All prescriptions and authorizations for renewals should be requested between 8:30AM and 5:00PM, Monday through Thursday. For your protection,  evening and weekend renewals will not be accepted because the doctor must have your chart to renew your medication. Check your medication supply frequently. Call us before medications “run out” so that there is no chance of lapse. We require 24 hour notice for refills. We require 48 hour notification for controlled substances. All controlled substances require picture identification  at the time of pick up, you may be requested to be seen in follow up prior to renewal of controlled substance prescriptions. If a medication is lost or stolen, a police report is required prior to refill.  Prescriptions and renewals may also be requested by email at info@gulfcoastpain.com.
