Referral Information     "The greatest compliment to our practice is the referral of your family and friends."     We believe our practice has grown and succeeded due to the kindness of our patients in referring their family members and friends to us.     Our office has never required a patient to be referred by another physician. A very large number of our new patients call and make their own appointments.     As managed care has taken hold, it is sometimes necessary for a patient, depending on their particular insurance coverage, to obtain approval from their family doctor before an appointment can be made.
