HOW QUICKLY CAN I GET AN APPOINTMENT? WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN GIVING PROMPT APPOINTMENTS. SERVICE IS ALSO EXCEPTIONAL AS INDICATED BY A STEADY STREAM OF THANK YOU NOTES WE GET AND EVALUATIONS OF OUR OFFICE BY RO BEAUMONT HOSPITAL PHYSICIAN REFERRAL SERVICE. WE ALSO DO DAILY QUALITY CONTROL SURVEYS WITH OUR PATIENTS AND LISTEN TO THEIR COMMENTS SERIOUSLY. wWE HAVE INTRODUCED A ONE OF ITS KIND WALK IN CLINIC WHERE YOU CAN COME WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT. HOW LONG HAS DR. VERMA PRACTICED MEDICINE? DR. VERMA GRADUATED FROM MEDICAL SCHOOL AT AGE 21 1/2. THUS HE OVER A QUARTER OF CENTURY WORTH OF CLINICAL EXPERIENCE.

IF YOUR INSURANCE REQUIRES A REFERRAL FROM YOUR PRIMARY PHYSICIAN, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO GET IT AND BRING IT TO OUR CLINIC AT THE TIME OR PRIOR TO THE APPOINTMENT.
