Nurse practitioners obtain an undergraduate degree in nursing and typically gain working experience as a Registered Nurse before attaining a Masters of Science in Nursing while some will continue on to acquire a Doctor of Nursing Practice.

Where physicians and nurse practitioners differ most is that doctors will complete four years of medical school and then complete at least three years of residency gaining clinical experience and furthering their education.

Our physicians and nurse practitioners are all board-certified and work closely together to provide our patients with the highest level of care.  Our providers strive to work with their patients to achieve better health outcomes by providing a comprehensive approach to your health.

Quality care for our patients is our top priority.   The office will confirm all appointments the day before.  We understand emergencies happen but respectfully request you call to cancel your appointment so your slot can be given to the next patient.  If you are more than 20 minutes late to your scheduled time you will be asked to reschedule.  All no show appointments are subject to no show fees.

The office is closed daily from 12p-1p

Monday 8:30am - 7:00pm

Tuesday 8:30am - 5:00pm

Wednesday 8:30am - 5:00pm

Thursday 8:30am - 5:00pm

Friday 8:30am - 4:00pm (phones are not answered after 3pm)

Refill requests may be made during normal office hours by calling the office at 586-884-6702. Requests may also be sent from your pharmacy.  Refills will not be given after hours or on weekends; patients should not use the after hours pager for requests.

Prescriptions may not be picked up by anyone other than the patient unless a Release of Information form is on file in your chart.  Your representative must present a picture ID to pick up your prescription.

All copays, deductibles and balances are due at the time of service. For your convenience we accept cash, check, Visa and MasterCard.

We participate with most major insurance companies.  It is your responsibility to make sure that you have selected our office as your primary care provider prior to your appointment if necessary, otherwise your appointment may be subject to cancellation.

Your insurance policy is a contract between you and the insurance company.  It is your responsibility to notify our staff if your bloodwork needs to be sent to a specific location other than McLaren Macomb.  If you require a prior authorization for an outside test, we will do our best to work with you and your insurance company so that you receive full benefits but we cannot guarantee coverage by your insurance company on a test ordered by one of our physicians.
