We prefer to see patients by appointment only.  Since your time is valuable, we try very hard to see you as promptly as possible.  However, when extenuating circumstances arise, we might not be able to stay on time.  Sometimes, we need to work a patient into an already busy schedule on account of an emergency.  Sometimes, we need to stay with a patient longer than usual to discuss a complex diagnosis or a proposed surgery.  We will always keep you informed of any delays in our schedule.  Moreover, if your wait is inconvenient, we will give you the option of rescheduling your appointment.
