Your health care provider needs to make a referral first. Once an appointment is arranged you will be called by our scheduling staff. We will reconfirm the appointment shortly before your appointment and advise you of all the important documents to bring with you.
Generally, our offices are open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, except for holidays and weekends. Dr. Etebar sets aside some days for office visits and other days for surgeries.
After checking in at the front desk with the required information, a careful history will be obtained in reference to your complaints and a physical exam will be performed. You will be shown your various diagnostic tests and their meaning. A lively discussion of the next steps will be encouraged along with answering any of your questions. We will help you arrive at a solution that fits your needs. We will help make arrangements to facilitate your appointments and scheduling.
We will spend all of the necessary time to understand your issues, discuss your test results and answer all of your questions. Since the amount of time necessary to accomplish this is variable, please be courteous if we are delayed. We will make every effort to run on time, but each person is important to us.
Due to the fact that we provide Emergency care to those with life threatening illnesses, even after you have confirmed your appointment, Dr. Etebar may be called away. Rarely, your appointment may have to be rescheduled as a result. We regret the inconvenience to you but hope you’ll understand our desire to help patients when they need us the most. If Dr. Etebar leaves for an emergency, nurse practitioner may see you, or Dr. Etebar may see you after a delay. Alternatively, we may have to reschedule your appointment. We make every effort to see rescheduled patients as soon as possible.
Please make sure you have read and understand all of our polices. If you have any additional questions please call us at(760) 346-8058
