Referring physicians

{ what to expect }

We treat your patients like our own.

We strive to make the referral process as seamless as possible. Your calls are answered by a person (not a machine) and we will do everything we can to see your patient in the time frame you deem most appropriate. Often, that means the same day. Feel free to ask to speak to Dr. Pelton directly if your patient has special needs.

How to refer patients

  • Fill out the necessary forms.

    Please fill out and fax over our referral form and we’ll get to your patient as soon as you deem necessary. Download form here

  • Provide your notes on the patient.

    Fax the last office visit notes and demographic information to help speed things along.

  • We'll follow up with you the same day as your patient's appointment.

    The day of the appointment, we’ll send you a fax outlining our initial findings. This will be followed by a more formal report, a few days later.
