Dear Patient

Please fill out all forms and either fax them to 703-313-8850 or bring them with you to your appointment as well as your insurance card.

All HMO patients must bring a current referral from their primary care physician. (If you have Care First Opt Out insurance you may find it financially in your best interest to obtain a referral from your primary care physician prior to surgery. Please contact the customer service number on your insurance card or visit www.carefirst.com)

Please bring all diagnostic tests that have been done relating to your scheduled appointment with you or have them faxed to 703-313-8850 prior to your appointment.
