- Arrive 30 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time. If you arrive late you may be seen after others who have arrived on time.
- Inform us of any changes in your health status, insurance status and/or demographic information since your last visit. Please note your co-pay will be collected at the time of your visit unless other arrangements have been made.
- Wear comfortable elastic waist pants (sweat pants), shorts, or jeans for your procedure. If possible, please do not wear a dress or skirt as they are cumbersome.

PARKING: There is a fee of up to $5.00 (the first 20 minutes are free) to park in the Medical Quarters Building parking lot.
We value our patient’s time and make every effort to run on schedule. Unlike many medical practices we do not over-book patients. Therefore, it is very important that barring an unforeseen emergency, you call us at 404-252-3034 at least 48 hours prior to your scheduled appointment if you need to cancel or reschedule. This way we will have time to put another patient that is in need of an injection in that time slot. Feel free to contact us with any additional questions or concerns. We recommend reviewing our Peachtree Spine press center for further information about injections and the back pain cure experience.
