We will make every effort to accommodate your needs, providing the physician’s schedule permits. If you are unable to keep your appointment, please notify our office as soon as possible. Repeated “no shows” or cancellations with less than 24 hours notice may result in a scheduling charge.

Emergencies

All patients with an emergency surgical issue should call 911 and immediately initiate transport to the nearest emergency room. There is a surgeon from our office on-call at all times. They can visit you in the emergency room, if needed. Please inform the emergency room that you are a patient of Princeton Surgical Associates and we will be contacted. Our office staff is capable of handling many urgent questions. Should you develop an urgent situation during the day, please contact us and we may be able to accommodate you in the office. Our main office number is 609-936-9100.

Office Visits

We request that our new patients complete the medical history, patient registration and HIPAA disclosure forms. We ask our patients to update this registration information yearly so that we can know and serve you better. Please bring any medical records, x-rays, test results or other pertinent information, as well as your insurance card and photo ID, with you to all office visits. We will remind you of these items when you call to make your appointment. Click here to contact our front office if you have any questions about your medical records.

Our office expects payment at the time of your visit. Please bring a check, credit card, or cash to cover your insurance plan obligations such as co-pays and deductibles.

Please sign in at our reception desk when arriving in our office. We make every effort to keep on schedule and apologize if an appointment time falls behind due to emergencies and other unforeseen circumstances. We do our best to accommodate ALL of our patients, and your understanding is greatly appreciated.

Before you leave at the end of your appointment, please don’t forget to “check out” with our exit secretary. If you brought any X-rays, medical charts or other records, please remember to take them with you unless the surgeon specifically asked you to leave them. You will be expected to pay your co-pays or other balances due at the time you exit our office.

Scheduling Surgery

Sarah Hodge is the supervisor in our scheduling department and has been with Princeton Surgical Associates for many years. All procedures to be done in the hospital, endoscopy center, and the out-patient surgery center are scheduled through this office. We realize scheduling surgery can be very stressful. During this time, any questions, information, or concerns related to your procedure can be addressed to our surgical scheduling coordinator.

Test Results

We have a tracking system to insure that each patient is notified of their results. It is important to note that pathology or cytology results may take as long as 3-5 days to process. We will call you as soon as we have your results, but if you have any questions regarding your results, please do not hesitate to contact us or leave voice mail for our nurses.
