• Medical Weight Loss
• Primary Care
  We recommend that you call your insurance company to verify that we participate with your plan as well as any referral requirements, copays, deductibles or other network requirements from your insurance plan. If you have an HMO or an insurance plan that requires a primary care provider (PCP) referral or authorization, please verify that the referral has been sent to our office prior to your appointment. Lack of referral may result in your appointment being rescheduled.
• Sleep Disorders
• Emergency Care
  When 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.

• Radiology
  When 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.

  On the contrary, the da Vinci System is designed to allow surgeons to operate with greater precision, visualization, dexterity and control. It advances their techniques and enhances their ability to perform complex minimally invasive surgery. The System translates the surgeon's hand movements in real time to its miniaturized instruments, while using motion scaling and tremor reduction to improve precision. The system can never be programmed to make decisions on its own or perform any surgical maneuvers without the surgeon's direct input via the console hand controls.
