Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

My most recent visit could actually have resulted In a visit to the ER except for the quick response that opened the door for me to be seen by Dr Achilefu on the same day . So rather than waiting for my next scheduled appointment which is in a couple weeks, I was seen immediately !Her calmArritude and that of her staff had a tramatic effect on the pain and stress that had caused My blood pressure to spike! Dr Achilefu is sensitive, caring & listens to the symptoms that I have experienced!In my experience, she's the best ! I would add that she is the best Primary Care Physician from over a twenty year period spanning New York , Connecticut & Florida . BTW I left with a normal blood pressure & it has remained so !
