Surgery

We understand that having surgery can be a stressful experience for you and your family. Our staff is committed to assisting you and making the experience as comfortable as possible.

In addition to providing you with the finest surgical care possible, our staff will do its best to ensure that paperwork and scheduling are handled carefully and completed accurately. We will assist you with completing the necessary insurance forms and with the insurance pre-certification process. If you require surgery, we will arrange for pre-admission testing and for preadmission evaluation by your primary physician or by appropriate specialists.

Our staff is dedicated to providing you with complete information about your treatment and care. If you ever have a question about any aspect of your surgical treatment, please do not hesitate to ask. We want you to be comfortable with your treatment and we will answer your concerns and questions as completely as possible.

We welcome your questions, comments, and suggestions as to how we can best serve you or your family member. Please feel free to call us at 610-954-1735.

Retroactive referrals cannot be issued for care already received. If you do not have the appropriate referral at the time of your visit, you may be required to reschedule your appointment. If you have any questions about referrals, do not hesitate to call us. We are always available to assist you.
