Frequently Asked Questions

We are located on the second floor of the St. Elizabeth Medical Plaza, 575 South 70th Street, Suite 200.  The plaza is located between the parking garage and St. Elizabeth Hospital.

The entire second floor of the parking garage is designated for our patients. You can walk directly into our clinic if you park on the second floor of the garage.

You will be asked to complete a patient information form upon arrival.  Please bring your copay (if applicable), current insurance card, any worker’s compensation or liability insurance information, a referral from your primary care physician (if applicable), medication list,  and any appropriate x-rays or scans previously done (bring the actual scan not just the paper report). If you do not have insurance you will be required to pay a $50 deposit at every appointment.

Please arrive 15 to 20 minutes prior to your appointment to complete your paperwork and register. Completing the “Patient Information” and “Medical History” forms in advance will shorten this process.

Your appointment allows time to address one priority problem. Your anticipated wait time may be longer than a general practitioner’s office because we are a specialty office. The length of your visit depends on the complexity of your case as well as the complexity of others that are being seen that day. Expect to spend one to three hours in the office on your initial visit.

If you need copies of your medical records, please call our main number, 402-488-3322 and ask for our Medical Records department. If you need copies of your x-rays or MRI scans please call our main number and follow the queue to our radiology department. In accordance with state and federal law, we must have you sign the Authorization to Release Medical Information Form.

You will need to bring your worker’s compensation or third party liability insurance company’s name, address, your claim number, and an adjustor or contact person’s name and phone number (if applicable).

In order to have the most up to date information on file, our physicians require patients to fill out new paperwork at least once a year. We will ask patients to fill out a one page form if they are being seen for a new ailment even if they have been seen in the past year.

If you have an orthopedic problem that requires surgery, your physician will explain your options and answer any questions or concerns you may have. Our staff will assist you in scheduling and pre-certifying your surgery.

For your convenience we accept cash, check, VISA, MasterCard, or Discover.

Our phones are answered by our office staff from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. If a medical emergency arises after hours please call our office.  Emergency calls are directed to an answering service and messages will be transmitted to the doctor on call.
