We will make a copy of your card so that your insurance claims will include correct information to ensure prompt payment by your insurer. Managed care companies frequently require a pre-authorization referral prior to being seen by a specialist. Please bring your referral from your primary care physician when you visit us or we may have to reschedule your appointment. If you have any questions about your care, please call and speak with a member of our staff.

MRI
I loved Dr Cambria - he was sincere and made me feel very comfortable, he didn't have that clinical bedside manner, he was very personable. He explained all possibilities of what my diagnosis could be and avenues he'd take to avoid surgery or MRI. He reviewed my X-Rays with me and made sure I thoroughly understood my issue. Joanne his assistant and X-Ray technician was very nice and too explained and made me feel comfortable in getting my cortisone shot - she was very personable - I am extremely satisfied with my office visit and so glad Dr Dey recommended me to go there.

The comfort and success of recovery from hip replacement often depend on what you do before surgery. Setting up your home and creating a “recovery zone” before the procedure can make your recovery more comfortable and easier.
Knee Replacement
Due to the complexity of the joint, knee replacement surgery requires precision. This is especially true when it comes to creating a replacement joint that is the exact same size and shape as the original. Precision is also important for properly positioning the implant. Precise measurement tools allow surgeons to plan and perform a knee replacement in ways that will improve a patient’s range of motion, stability, and joint function.
