New appointments
In order to expedite your check-in and minimize wait times, we ask that you pre-register with our office. This may be done by completing our registration packet prior to the date of your scheduled appointment. For your convenience this packet is located in the above "patient forms" link. Once completed please mail, email or fax your new patient packet as well as a copy of your insurance card. If you are unable to pre-register, please complete your packet and arrive at least 15 minutes early to your scheduled appointment time.
Please bring the following items with you to your appointment:
- New Patient Packet - completed
- Your insurance card or other health coverage information.
- Some insurance carriers require you to have a referral from a primary care physician (PCP) prior to treatment. Please check with your insurance carrier if you are in doubt.
- Please have any radiological studies complete at least one day prior to your appointment. If studies are completed any other facility besides a Sutter or Radnet, please bring a copy of films and report.
- Please call our office if your studies are older than 6 months as we may need to order new studies prior to your appointment. If you were told by the radiology facility that your films are on a PACS System please call us prior to your appointment and notify us which facility to retrieve your images from.
- Clinic notes or operative reports from your referring physician that relate to your condition.
- Please bring a list of your current medications including the name of the drug, the strength of the dose, and the frequency of the dose.
- Please bring or wear a pair of shorts if you are being seen for your hip or knee.

We strive to minimize wait times, however, we are not always able to anticipate all of our patients needs. There may be times when a wait is involved. We ask for your patience with us during these times, and please remember that we will spend as much time with you as needed. In addition, we will make every effort to inform you of potential delays in your appointment time.
Appointment Cancellations and Rescheduling
We request that appointments be cancelled in advance as a courtesy to our providers and the other patients. When an emergency arises, we will attempt to reschedule you as soon as possible. Please be advised, per our financial policy (available in our patient forms link above) if less than one business notice for an orthopedic appointment a $25 fee will be assessed and for pain management appointment $50 fee will be assessed..

Please ensure your requests are received before 3pm the day prior to refill day. Refills may not be made after business hours, or on weekends. This is designed to prevent medication errors and allow for proper documentation of medications.
