Your First Visit
Please check with your insurance company to ensure our physicians are in your network. If your insurance company requires a referral from primary care physician, please be sure to obtain a referral prior to your appointment.
The initial evaluation usually lasts three hours. Please allow adequate time for this visit.
Your first examination may require allergy testing. If you will be tested, stop taking all oral antihistamines or decongestant medications (such as over-the-counter cold remedies, sinus preparations or allergy medicines) for three days before your visit.
If you take any oral antihistamines, you must stop taking these medications for a full seven days prior to your visit. Usually, you can continue any asthma medications.
