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.

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. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Very nice and caring dr. He was attentive to my concerns. Answered my questions. One thing I would like is. After I left I thought of a few questions I neglected to ask. Wish it was possible to have a like liaison that a patient can call and relay any forgotten concerns. That would be nice since sometimes u r receiving so much new info most unknown to u and u think of questions u wished u had asked. But no problems w dr. Schussler. He spent time answering our questions at that time. Thank you. B.
