- Primary CareThis website should not be taken as medical advice-it is only a guide. Medical advice can only be given after establishment of a patient/provider relationship and should be sought directly from your surgeon and/or primary care provider. Specific questions before and after surgery should be directed to our office.
- Emergency CareWhen you get emergency care or are treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from balance billing. In these cases, you shouldn't be charged more than your plan's copayments, coinsurance and/or deductible.

- Labor and DeliveryAge, race, color, ancestry, national origin, citizenship, religion or creed, marital status, medical condition, physical or mental disability, sex (including gender, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy or childbirth and related medical conditions), sexual orientation, veteran or military status, genetic information (including familial genetic information).

- UltrasoundPlacement of tunneled intravenous catheters with ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance (for long-term IV access for chemotherapy, prolonged IV antibiotics, frequent blood draws)
- RadiologyWhen you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers can bill you is your plan's in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers can't balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections not to be balance billed.

- Vascular SurgeryAntibiotics should usually be finished when prescribed, even if you are feeling better. Side effects or allergic reactions can happen when taking antibiotics or any medications; if you think you cannot or should not finish the antibiotics please let your surgeon know, as he may want to change you to a different one. Frequently after vascular surgery, you may be placed on aspirin, Plavix, or coumadin. These "blood thinners" are important and should not be stopped unless discussed with your surgeon or another physician. Coumadin levels in your blood can fluctuate, and you will need to follow the blood levels closely, especially when beginning this medication. If you have a question about a specific medication, please let us know before you stop taking it or change the dose.
