Information derived from this site or any associated links should not be taken as advice specifically for you, and is not a substitute for a visit with your personal physician. We encourage you to make an appointment with us to discuss your health concerns.
We take a whole-person view of your health, but our practice is based on traditional scientific medicine. We have resources to check for effectiveness of herbs and alternative methods and herb interactions with traditional medicines. We do not specialize in herbal treatments, bio-identical hormone replacement, or alternative medicine. If you are seeking an alternative-minded practitioner, we can recommend other area physicians.
New patients: Please download and complete the New Patient Registration Form, Preparing for your Visit,and health history form in the pale box above. You can bring them to your appointment. Please arrange for previous records to be sent from your previous doctor. We encourage you to review other documents above.
Spectrum services
We provide comprehensive preventive (wellness) care and care for acute and chronic conditions for people of all ages, including infants, children, and adult men and women. This includes well-woman care (routine female checkups and contraception). We do not deliver babies, although we often consult with obstetricians on illnesses in pregnant women.
Procedures and testing We offer on-site services including phlebotomy (blood drawing), lung function testing, EKG, Holter monitors, home sleep studies, neurologic testing (EMG and nerve conduction studies), and minor procedures including skin lesion or toenail removals, IUD insertion, colposcopy and endometrial biopsy. Radiology services are available at Naperville Imaging Center, an independent imaging center that shares our building. If your insurance plan allows testing at NIC, they offer prompt and convenient x-ray, bone density screening, ultrasound, stress tests (including nuclear stress tests), ultrafast heart CT scan, CT, MRI, virtual colonoscopy, nuclear medicine tests (bone scans, thyroid scans, etc.), PET scans, and more.
Online access Please register at ECW's patient portal. (See below under electronic records). Do not use email for urgent, emergency concerns! Please allow 24 to 48 hours for appointment or billing personnel to respond, and up to 5 days for referral processing. If you haven't heard from us in that time, please call the office, 630-305-3025. In your email, please list the reason for your request in the subject line. For appointment email requests, include a preferred day and time for an appointment (such as Tuesday afternoon, Thursday morning) and give a phone number or email address where we can reach you. For email to clinicians or nurse, simple questions will not incur a charge. We may ask you to schedule a visit to address complex concerns.
Prescription refills Generally, we give you enough refills at your visit to last until we want to see you. If you are running low on a prescription, please call or email to make an appointment! If you need a few weeks' supply until your appointment, please ask your pharmacy or mail-order prescription service to contact us for refills.
Non-covered services We offer a choice of an annual non-covered service annual fee or individual fees for services not covered by insurance, such as completing work, school or camp forms, test or refill authorizations, repeat referrals, etc. Pay a small price now to enjoy convenience later.
Electronic records We used SOAPware, an electronic medical record system,from 2005-2009. SOAPware greatly improved our efficiency and quality of care. Their updated products are still an excellent, cost-effective option for small practices. We transitioned to E-Clinical Works, another popular electronic record system, in July 2009. ECW allows patients to view their own records via web portal and features better integration of clinical functions to help our practice run more smoothly.
