Frequently Asked Questions:

 

Who are the patients we serve? 

 

We are a network provider for Humana. A Humana Medicare Advantage Plan can provide all the benefits of Original Medicare and then some including prescription drug coverage.

​

A Humana policy can supply:

 

• Medicare Advantage HMO

• Medicare Advantage PPOs

 

​

 

M.D. or D.O.?

​

 

• There are two types of complete physicians, D.O. and M.D.

• Both M.D.s and D.O.s base diagnosis and treatments on scientifically proven conclusions.

• Both attend four years of Medical School plus a residency program.

• Both take the MCAT and go through a rigorous application process.

• Both are licensed by the same licensing boards.

• Both can choose to practice in any specialty of medicine.

• D.O.s are also trained in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine.

 

 

How often do our patients see a doctor?

 

The short answer is: We are here as often as you need us. At a minimum, our physicians will schedule your regular appointments twice a year. After assessing the patient’s state of health, our physicians may order additional blood work or refer you to a specialist. There are instances such as Coumadin Clinic or chronic conditions where you may be scheduled more frequently.

​

Do you specialize in any other services?

 

 

• All of our physicians are on call 24/7.

• We offer hands-on care by providing manipulations, also called OMT procedures (osteopathic manipulative treatments).

• Our medical assistants are very well-trained in drawing blood, and we do our own lab draws in the office.

• If a patient’s diagnosis suggests the need for a specialist, we will make that referral.
