To schedule an appointment with our Neurosurgeons,
please call
847-698-1088 and speak with our scheduling staff.
At the time you schedule your appointment, you will
be asked for information on your medical problem, your
referring physician, your complete insurance
information, and your referral. Please have this
information handy when you call. If you are enrolled
with an insurance company that requires a referral, we
cannot schedule your appointment without it. Please
obtain your referral before calling for your
appointment.
If you miss your appointment without notifying us 24
hours in advance, a $20.00 fee will be billed to you.
Your CT, MRI or X-Rays (preferably on CD-ROM) and
film reports must be brought with you at the time of
your doctor's appointment. Please do not bring only your
film reports. Also please bring a list of all
medications you are currently taking, along with dosages
and frequencies (you may bring the medication containers
instead if that is easier). |
