Yes! These forms must be filled out before we can schedule the patient. 

Without the forms, we do not have sufficient information to create the patient in our charting system, and are thus unable to proceed with the scheduling process.

Furthermore, these documents provide crucial medical history for our medical assistants, which allows us to better prepare for your visit and assist you. 

Even if you have a referral, and even if another doctor's office calls us, we need this paperwork! 

If there is a true medical emergency, please seek out your nearest Emergency Room or Urgent Care Facilities. 

Although Dr. Sabet has a high volume of patients, we endeavor to see all patients within a reasonable timeframe, with consideration of the patient's condition and severity of symptoms. 

If your situation has changed due to a worsening in symptoms, please call our staff. We will re-evaluate the timeframe of your appointment slot, and may recommend you to Emergency or Urgent Care facilities if necessary.
