LAB:

We do not have on-site laboratory. You are free to use any facility you like.

At present we have collaboration with Quest Diagnostics. We have negotiated low rates with them. The condition is that we need to charge and collect the lab fees in our office. You will be given a requisition form which you will take to the lab for blood drawn or other sample collection. When you have given the blood or samples to the lab we will contact the lab to get results and call you to inform you for further action.

X-RAYS , ULTRASOUND EXAMS, CT SCANS and MRI:

You are free to use any facility you like.

We have negotiated a special low rate with Pensacola Open MRI.

PAIN MANAGEMENT:

We are not pain management doctors; therefore, we unfortunately cannot accept any patient with chronic pain (pain persistent for more than 90 days continuously).

We have had this policy for quite some time but still many patients repeatedly request Lortab. Please understand we have been here for several years and we have our share of established patients that we are trying to sort out and send them to pain management. Finding a pain management doctor is getting difficult in our community day by day. We can provide you non-narcotic options for chronic pain but please do not sneak in your request for Lortab, Soma or Xanax etc. Recent coverage by media as to how doctors who are treating patients with pain have been treated by law have made all of us all the more alert. Everybody seems have more knowledge about who can treat their chronic pain.

PAIN AND ANXIETY MANAGEMENT BY NON-NARCOTIC AND TESTS

Anybody who is treated for any pain can be subjected to a Urine Drug Screen at any time.

Refusing to pay for the test in this situation may result in us denying any prescription of any pain medication or tranquiller. In that case, you will be asked to go to the Emergency Room.
