Thank you for your interest in our practice. For more information about our providers, visit About Us.
The initial appointment will be one hour. After reviewing your medical history, we will perform a general medical exam as necessary followed by an Osteopathic structural exam and treatment. Follow-up visits are 30 minutes. At the discretion of the physican, newborns may be seen as follow-ups for mothers who were seen during pregnancy and/or after delivery.
New patients must register with the appropriate doctors’ waitlist:
Babies and pregnant mothers with urgent problems can at times be accommodated sooner.
For follow-up visits, please leave a message for our scheduling assistant, Carolina, at 415-255-5729 (voice extension 1 or text) or at info@do-sf.com. She returns calls within 1-2 business days.
Office Policies:
- Unfortunately, we do not accept Worker’s Comp or HMOs (including Kaiser). The doctors only see Medicare patients independently of their Medicare coverage. You will not be reimbursed by Medicare, MediGap or any other supplemental plans. Medicare patients must sign an acknowledgement of this.
- You may request a receipt to send to your insurance, but we do not bill insurance directly, nor do we accept liens. Reimbursement is likely only from auto insurance (possibly up to 100%) or some PPO policies (20-60% once deductible has been met).
- We accept cash, check and all credit/debit cards.
- We require at least two full business days* notice for cancellations, otherwise the full appointment fee will be charged.
(*48 hours for any except Monday appointments, which must be cancelled by the prior Thursday.) - As a courtesy, you will receive an automated text, email or phone call 2-3 days in advance of upcoming appointments. If you do not receive an automated message by 2 days before, you must contact us to confirm. Do not come to the office if you have not received an automated confirmation that you are on the schedule.
- Please note that the automated texts will come from a five digit number. Please do not reply to this text. To reach our staff person, Carolina, with other messages please use our regular number (415) 255-5729 or email at info@do-sf.com.
- For your first appointment, please confirm with us about 3 days prior to the appointment. If we do not hear from you, we may have to cancel it.
Prior to your appointment, you will receive a link via email to fill out the new patient intake forms. Please complete these in advance of your appointment with enough time for your doctor to review them.
