Do I need a referral to be seen?
Yes, our office does require a referral from either the hospital or another physician.
What happens if I was seen in the hospital and told to follow up with you?
If you were released from the hospital, please call our clinic at (503) 485-4787 to schedule your appointment. We may need to request records from the hospital before your appointment can be made.
My doctor referred me to your office. How long do I wait to call to schedule, or will you call me?
Our office will contact you when we receive the referral. If you have not heard from us within 3 business days, please contact your referring office.
How can I get records from a previous doctor/clinic sent to you?
You can come into either their office or ours to sign a release of information. Go to Patient Resources tab, and then click on Patient Forms. Please verify when you fill out the release that you specify you would like your records sent. *Requesting that your records be sent to our office does not qualify as a referral. If you have not been seen here, please ask that your doctor refer you*
When can I get the results from my testing?
The doctor will discuss your results at your scheduled follow-up appointment. If they find anything of great concern, we will call you within 1 week. If you do not have a follow-up appointment, please contact our office.
How can I pay my bill?
