WELCOMING New Patients ...
Can I change doctors within the practice?
Generally this is not done. For obvious reasons, this is awkward for both doctor and patient. Our doctors share hospital responsibility for hospital coverage and you would still be seen at times by your previous physician. We have confidence and trust in all of our physicians and it is important to maintain this.
