Ruth Murray, Receptionist
Ruth does the scheduling of office visits, registers you when you come to the office, and prepares the chart for the Doctor. It will make Ruth’s life much easier if you remember to bring with you your insurance card and a picture ID. At the time your appointment is made, Ruth will let you know what your financial obligation will be (co-pays, etc.) and how it should be paid. For new patients, the co-pay must be paid in cash. If you are an established patient, co-pays of $20 or more may be paid by check. If you have an urgent medical problem, please let Ruth know so that arrangements can be made for you to be seen in a timely manner.
