Making an Appointment
Patients are seen by appointment only. Clinic hours are weekdays from
8 am to 5 pm. If you are unable to keep an appointment please call our
office within twenty-four (24) hours prior to your appointment time to
avoid being billed for a missed appointment. This also allows us to provide
services to other patients. For OPA Pain Services please call (520) 324-2080
and you will be connected to the clinic for scheduling.
At
the time of your initial visit you will be asked to complete a registration
form for maintenance in our permanent file. We also ask that you bring
your insurance information. On the first visit please arrive thirty
minutes early to compete the paperwork. If you have been under the care
of other physicians please bring copies of your medical records or make
arrangements for them to be sent or faxed to us prior to your appointment.
A complete medical history and appropriate physical examination will
be performed at the time your visit.
If
you have any radiographic studies pertinent to your pain (such as spine
films, MRI or CT scans) please make arrangements for a report of these
to be forwarded to our clinic prior to your initial consultation.
If
you have an urgent problem after hours you may contact your primary
care physician's office or if it is an emergency please go to the emergency
room nearest you. You may also call OPA during business hours and leave
messages for our pain management physicians at 324-2200.
