Southern Indiana OB/GYN

To schedule an appointment, please call our office at 812-376-3311. Please explain the reason for your visit. This allows us to schedule the appropriate time needed to address your healthcare concerns. For your first visit, please arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment time so that we may obtain the information required for establishing your care. 

You play a major role in helping us stay on schedule. If you are running late, please phone before you come, as we may ask you to reschedule your appointment so that our other patients are not inconvenienced. If you arrive late for your appointment, we will need to reschedule.

If you have an urgent need to be seen, please call as soon as possible, and we will try to accommodate you. We do our best to stay on schedule, but there are occasions when deliveries, emergency surgeries and physician illness can cause unexpected delays. We do our best to keep delays to a minimum and apologize for any inconvenience.

 Each visit, please:

• Bring your insurance card with you as well as a list of your current medications.
• Inform the front desk staff of any change in name, address, telephone number, employment or insurance.
• Inform your physician of any changes in medical history.

Please extend these courtesies to others in our office: no smoking, no heavy perfumes. Please turn off your cell phone when in the exam room.

Mammograms

If you are due for a mammogram and would like to discuss it with your doctor during your office visit, please schedule an appointment about a week prior to your ob-gyn office visit. Please call the Columbus Regional Hospital Breast Health Center (located at 2326 18th Street, Suite 110) at 812-376-5064 to make an appointment. Please note that a doctor's order may be needed for a mammogram. Call our office so we can send an order to the CRH Breast Health Center.

Whether you want to pay a bill or need help affording your bill, we're here to help with that and more.
