Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice. Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372.

She is Amazing, she listens and listens well, completely all about the patient and when she speaks, I do not feel like I'm being talked at nor down too. Compassionate and caring to me as well as professional at all time and explaining details that this ole Marine Vet. Can understand. Samantha gives great recommendations for my care and I trusted her very quickly, which is unusual for me. I can only hope that she can be a part of my medical plan/decisions should the VA allow me to move forward in the future through Community Care I have a serious surgery that needs to be preformed in the future and she shared basic things with me that no one at the VA has ever mentioned, Samantha at no time over stepped her boundaries when it came to me care and directly referred me to decisions that only a surgeon could make. I'm married to a NICU nurse of 20 + years, so I would like to think I have a better understanding of the Medical community as a whole.

Another specialist doctor requested that I have a consultation and more tests for GI tract. Ms. Alvarez and I discussed possible problems and the options that could arise. In the last two and half years things have changed and I must be sure of my final decision. I will be contacting Ms. Alvarez for scheduling an appointment by 2023.
