your first visit

At your first visit to Arizona Center for Hand to Shoulder Surgery, your doctor will review your medical records with you, assess the findings, and develop a treatment plan for your diagnosis. It is helpful to have the most recent MRI/CT scans/X-ray reports on your area of pain, so the physician can come up with a plan of action that will work best for you. If you do not have any radiology reports, our doctors can still evaluate you, and may write a prescription for you to have diagnostic imaging done. Typically, on the first visit our physicians do not prescribe pain medication.

In order to prevent delays we ask that patient’s please submit the forms to our office with a signed consent as quickly as possible. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact our office at (602) 258-4788 and dial Ext. 5 for the medical assistants.

Please arrive on time: We try very hard to accommodate all of our patients as quickly as possible. If you are more than 15 minutes late for your appointment, you may be rescheduled for another day.

Utilize our New Patient Portal: Patients can now access our portal for even more services including viewing and requesting appointments, viewing and downloading medical records, requesting prescription refills, updating personal information, securely messaging questions to the office staff, and more!
