Treatment Patients
Please make arrangement for someone to accompany you when you leave if sedating medications are part of your treatment.
When arriving at the office for your treatment, please immediately see the secretary and fill out the eight items on the progress note form. This is required by insurance for each and every visit. Please note: Item number 8 asks for a list of medications you are currently taking along with dosing information. Please bring a list of your medications with you.
After the completed form is returned to the secretary, you will have your blood collected by either the medical assistant or the nurse. Please wait in the waiting area until you a re called. Note: Drink plenty of fluids prior to you visit. Being well hydrated assists in blood drawing.
Most treatments don't require special preparations. However, you will be notified if there are any preparations or medications to take before arriving at the office for your treatment by Dr. Wolf or the nurse. Before, during or after your treatment, you will be seen by Dr. Wolf, if appropriate and/or needed. When treatment is completed, please check out with the secretary and biller.
Any questions concerning infusions or related medications can be answered by calling the Infusion Nurse at 212-688-7100, prompt 4. The scheduling of treatments is done only by the secretary.
