Appointments & Referrals
All patients are seen by appointment. The receptionist will take appointments during any of the office hours. If an acute problem arises, please try to call the office before 10:00 a.m. so we can work you in that day. We try to stay on schedule, since we know no one likes to wait.
There are several things you can do to help us stay on schedule. When calling to schedule an appointment, be specific about the nature of your visit. A “routine appointment” is not designed to exceed fifteen minutes. If you call for an appointment that you anticipate will necessitate more than fifteen minutes for discussion and care of a problem, please indicate this to the receptionist, so that she may schedule an appropriate amount of time.
In addition, the following will help us remain on schedule. Please call 24 hours in advance if you must cancel an appointment. If you do not call to cancel your appointment you may be billed for an office visit. Phone ahead to make an appointment for extra family members that want to be seen. Please attempt to be on time for your appointment so others won't have to wait. If you are more than fifteen minutes late, you may need to reschedule. We will try to see you as soon as possible without having others wait.
Finally, we ask you for your understanding and patience when we are running behind schedule. Emergencies occasionally disrupt the schedule. When this happens, we will try to get back on schedule as soon as possible.

Billing & Insurance
As a service to you, the patient, we will bill all major insurance companies. If your insurance plan requires that you use their claim form or if you prefer to file your own insurance claims, we will provide the information necessary for you to file directly to your insurance company. Please verify that we have been designated as your primary care physician if your insurance company requires this.

Prescriptions & Refills
We believe medication should be used sparingly - only when and for as long as necessary. Most prescriptions, for short-term problems need no refills; however, if a refill is authorized, please call your pharmacist.
If you are on a long-term medication, refills will be handled at the time of your office visit. Please check prior to your appointment to see if you are running out. On some occasions it may be necessary for you to phone the office for refills. This will be done only during routine office hours. Please have the phone number of your pharmacy ready, as well as the prescription name, dosage, and frequency of dose. Please allow 48 hours to refill your renewed medication. New Prescriptions of antibiotics or potent medications will not be handled by telephone. This could be dangerous to you without proper medical evaluation.
Prescription refill requests can be made by faxing the form on our Medical Forms page, calling (614) 471-9654, or using our Online Refill Request System.

Our Philosophy
We would like to see you not only avoid illness, but also obtain the best health possible. Having energy to live life fully is certainly another way of defining optimal health. This requires health maintenance which means developing and maintaining a healthy life style. We advocate weight regulation, regular exercise, nonsmoking, control of blood pressure, stress management, and good nutrition.
Seeing a physician not only when you are sick, but as a means to avoid problems is very important. Guidelines for preventative health examinations are constantly being updated. In general, older patients and those individuals with chronic health problems need more frequent examinations than younger, healthy people. Through history and physical assessment, risk factors can be identified and proper health programs established.
We have prepared information sheets for you on preventative medicine and on handling different aspects of illness. These will be given to you as needed. As you learn about taking care of yourself, you will be working more effectively with ourselves and the staff toward your optimal health.
We also have special interest and training in Sports Medicine on every level. Physical Fitness is a very important part of a healthy life. Obtaining physical fitness is not always an easy thing as minor injuries and nagging ailments do occur.
When these problems do arise we will be able to help with your specific problem.
