Insurance/Self Pay

Report

Over the last 10 years insurance companies have reduced their payments levels in many cases to less than 25% of what used to be standard payment while quadrupling premiums. Consequently, we elected to drop most insurance plans. We strive to keep our fees reasonable and stay committed to providing the most cost effective services for our patients with generous discounts. We will bill your insurance company on your behalf and you, the patient, will receive the insurance check less any deductible you have.

Incisional Hernias

Report

Incisional hernias result from the breakdown of a previous surgical incision, generally caused by tension in the closure of the incision. The result is an unsightly bulge, which, if left alone, can lead to numerous complications, including bowel obstruction and strangulation. These hernias can reach massive proportions over time and consequently should be repaired when they are first diagnosed.
