Scheduling an Appointment
There are two options for patients and referring physicians to schedule an appointment with an Emory general surgeon:
- Contact the division's office at Emory Crawford Long Hospital, (404) 686-8143, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Contact Emory HealthConnectionSM, (404) 778-7777 or (800) 75-EMORY, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. HealthConnectionSM offers immediate access to information on Emory services and physicians.
A financial assessment will be performed prior to confirming an appointment. The following information will expedite the scheduling process:
- Referral from the primary care physician (if needed)
- The treating physician's name, address and telephone number
- Patient's name, address, telephone number, date of birth
- Patient's social security number
- Diagnosis and date of diagnosis
- Insurance information
First Visit
The initial consultation will include an evaluation based on current symptoms or conditions and compilation of a thorough medical history. The patient should bring all medical records related to their diagnosis, including notes, slides and films from scans. In fact, it is helpful for copies of these items to be reviewed by the surgeon before the scheduled appointment, though not mandatory. If interested in this option, please call (404) 686-8143. In coordination with the referring physician, a treatment plan is developed after the initial visit based on the particular medical needs of the patient.
