FAQ
If you have additional questions, please contact us at 614-262-4263 (HAND).
Do you require referrals?
We want to eliminate any delays in getting you the help you need, which is why you can see our doctors without a referral from your primary care physician or other doctor. We are happy to keep your current physician informed about the care you receive. Contact us to arrange an appointment at 614-262-4263 (HAND).
What can I expect during my first visit?
During your first visit, one of our physicians will speak with you and examine the afflicted area to determine the source of your pain or discomfort. From there, they will present all available treatment options, taking special care to explain them clearly so that you can make confident, informed decisions. One of our patient care coordinators will then work with you to schedule any additional appointments.
What do I need to bring to my appointment?

New patients will need to provide a government issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport, along with a current insurance card. Individuals with workers’ compensation claims will need to provide the claim number, date of injury, case manager name and phone number, employer name and phone number, and any documents received to date from the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation or Department of Labor. Patient forms can be filled out at the time of your appointment, or you may fill them out ahead of time. Patient forms can be downloaded here.
