Office Hours and Appointments

Our office is open 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:30am until 4:30pm Fridays, except holidays.

You may make an appointment by calling the office at (502) 935-8061, Monday through Friday, during normal business hours. We will schedule your appointment for the first available opening. When calling to schedule an appointment you will be asked to give a brief description of your orthopaedic problem, how and when it happened, what type of insurance you have and what type is covering this visit. You will also be asked to bring any X-rays, MRI’s, CT scan’s, Myelogram films, lab results or referral information to your first appointment. At times your appointment may be changed due to unexpected emergencies.

We will need to verify insurance information if this visit is related to a motor vehicle accident or a Worker’s compensation injury, prior to your being seen. Please call this information into our front desk at least 2 days prior to your appointment. We will try to get approval and check benefits in advance. Otherwise, this may cause a delay on your visit date, and you possibly may have to reschedule if we can not get approval to treat you.

For Worker’s Compensation, we will need the following:

Date of injury
Employer Name, address and phone number
Worker’s compensation Insurance Co. name, address and phone
Claim # and Adjuster’s name
In addition, we will need your personal health information. Sometimes treatments are unrelated to the work injury.

For Motor Vehicle Accident injuries, we will need the following:

Date of injury
Insured name, address and phone number
Auto Insurance Co. name, address and phone number for Medical bills
Claim # and Adjuster’s name
In addition, we will need your personal health information
(If a referral is needed we suggest you get one now, in case your benefits run out from the Auto Insurance, otherwise you will be responsible.)

To best care for our patients under the age of 18, an adult or legal guardian must accompany minors.

If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please notify us as far in advance as possible so that your time may be given to another patient in need of care.
