What should I bring for my first appointment at a pain clinic in Shreveport?

For a seamless initial visit, please have on hand any pertinent medical documents, imaging studies (such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans), your health insurance card(s), and a valid photo ID. Also, be ready to pay any copays, deductibles, or coinsurance dictated by your insurance coverage.

What payment options are available for patients?

We accept several forms of payment, including cash, personal checks, and major credit cards. There is a $25.00 service charge for any returned checks.

New patient appointments tend to be a bit longer. Please plan to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your appointment to take care of any necessary paperwork. The appointment itself will likely take around 2–3 hours.

What is your office’s policy on appointment cancellation?

We ask for at least a 24-hour heads-up if you must cancel or reschedule your appointment. This courtesy allows us to accommodate other patients in need of our services. Please be aware that failing to provide sufficient notice could result in a cancellation fee.
