We look forward to seeing you at your appointment with Orthopedic and SportsMedicine Clinic of Fairbanks
Office visits are scheduled by our receptionists. Scheduling of surgery is done by the office coordinator.
Except in the case of emergencies, it is not our policy to see patients without an appointment. Our schedule is often filled well in advance, and we do everything we can to assist you if delays or postponements occur. At times, our doctors are called to the hospital, or some patients require extra clinic time for their serious injuries. We appreciate your understanding and patience with us as we do the best we can in managing our time constraints.
If your time is short, we encourage you to call ahead and check our clinic schedule time. We will be glad to accommodate you at a later time that day.
