• Primary Care
  Be aware that most referral authorizations are good for a certain number of visits and have an expiration date. Please make sure your primary care physician gives enough visits to our practice. It is your responsibility to contact your primary care physician prior to your appointment to obtain the referral information.
• Ear Infections
  It is important to note that you can still have the surgery even if you have an ear infection. (Remember – if you did not have a problem with infections you would not need the surgery.)
• Emergency Care
