Office Policy

In order to make your visit as pleasant as possible we see patients by appointment only. Occasionally, a seriously ill patient, an unscheduled surgical problem or a patient who has a difficult problem may disrupt the office appointment schedule. Your understanding and patience in these circumstances is appreciated. Should you be unable to keep an appointment, please call as soon as possible. Non-emergency routine medical matters should be dealt with during normal office hours when medical records are available and pharmacies are open. In case of emergency, after hours or on weekends, a doctor can always be reached by calling Baptist Memorial Hospital in Columbus.

Allergy Testing

We provide several types of allergy testing including testing for environmental and food allergies. Depending on the particular patient, we may test for allergy using skin testing or a newer technique that allows us to test your blood for many of the common local allergens. Our clinic has the equipment and capability to perform this testing in-house, thus avoiding delays involved with sending the tests to an outside lab. This convenience allows us to provide you with faster turn-around on your results and treatment.

Carestream CS 9300 CT Scanner

The Columbus office has a Carestream CS 9300 high performance CT scanner designed for a comprehensive range of clinical applications. It allows us to often obtain any needed CT scans at the time of your visit. This addition saves you valuable time and adds to the convenience of your experience.
