APPOINTMENTS
All appointments can be arranged by calling
1-205-822-9595.
Our office hours are 8am to 5 pm and we are conveniently located
at the corner of
Shades Crest Road and Highway 31 in Vestavia.
Please arrive 5-10 minutes early for your appointment for
registration and to fill in
a health questionnaire. Click here to download our health
questionnaire to print and
bring with you for your appointment.
When you come for your appointments, please remember
to bring the following
- Insurance information
- Copies of operation records, medical records, x-rays, MRIs, CT scans and so on from prior doctor visits.
- If you have had surgery elsewhere, please bring a copy of your operation report.
Very often during the course of your evaluation or treatment for
an orthopaedic condition
we will require x-rays to determine the cause of a problem or to
evaluate your progress.
If not all the relevant information is available at the time of your
appointment this
may cause a delay in your treatment.
Appointments for X-ray are not necessary.
These are continually staffed whenever any doctor is consulting,
which covers most of the
week.
Patients may be referred for x-rays from outside. X-rays can
therefore be arranged prior to consultations.
Please dress so that the body part you are having trouble with
can be easily examined and/or
X-rayed. For example, please wear shorts if you are attending for a
knee problem.
To cancel an appointment:
Telephone the office during business hours. Please cancel at
least 1 day ahead so that your
appointment time can be allocated to another patient who is seeking
treatment.
Your time is valuable and we make every effort to run on time. As
you can imagine,
emergencies occur that cause scheduling delays beyond our control.
We apologise in
advance if we keep you waiting.
