To
schedule an appointment with Buffalo
Medical Group, please call 630-1000
during regular office hours, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm,
Monday through Friday, and your call will be
directed to the appropriate office. Each of
our physicians also has a direct phone line for
easy access to their individual offices.
The physician’s medical assistant has been
instructed to ask why you need to see the doctor.
Your response will enable the medical
assistant to schedule the appropriate
length of time for your appointment.
For your convenience, BMG has
an automated telephone system
which contacts patients two business
days prior to their scheduled
appointment as a reminder.
If it is necessary to cancel an appointment, please notify your doctor’s office as soon as
possible. This courtesy will provide us with an opportunity to care for another patient in your
place. A medical assistant will be pleased to arrange another appointment for you.
On your first visit to Buffalo Medical Group, please arrive at least 15 minutes before your
scheduled appointment so that you have time to register with the receptionist. The receptionist
will ask you to complete a registration form in order to establish your medical record and
obtain your current insurance information. We ask that you bring your current insurance card(s) with you to this visit and all subsequent visits, as well as your co-payment, if applicable.
On future visits, please check in at the reception desk, so your information can be reviewed for
accuracy. You can help us serve you better by notifying the receptionist or doctor’s office of
any changes in name, address, telephone number or insurance coverage since the time of your
last visit. Verifying this information at each visit will ensure that you receive the most
appropriate medical care, and also ensure that the services you received are covered by your
insurance company.
Doctors at Buffalo Medical Group try to follow their scheduled appointments as closely as
possible. However, due to unavoidable circumstances or emergencies, a doctor may have to
spend additional time with a patient who may have had an appointment prior to yours. This
may result in a delay in seeing your doctor. We appreciate your patience and understanding in
such circumstances.
If you have tests performed by the Buffalo Medical Group, the office may call you, or request
you to call the office at a specified time to obtain
the results. Your results may be given to you by the
doctor or the doctor’s medical assistant.
