Welcome to our practice. Our staff is made up of professionals who work together to bring you the highest quality orthopaedic care. At your first appointment, or if you have not been in the office within the last 12 months, you will be asked to complete a patient Demographics, patient Medical History-physical form template.  This information will assist your physician in your care, therefore complete and accurate information is important. If you are unable to download these forms from our portal, please come to your appointment 30 minutes early to allow time for completion.  Please bring all previous medical records, relative x-rays, insurance information and a picture ID to your appointment. Office Locations LCO has 3 convenient locations to serve you. Your physician may practice at one or more of these locations. You will be asked at the time of scheduling your appointment which location best fits your needs. Self-Referrals If your insurance carrier allows self-referrals, you may contact LCO directly without a referral from another doctor. Physician Referrals If your insurance company requires primary care physician referrals, please schedule your appointment through your primary care physician. If we do not have this information at the time of your appointment, or if you do not bring your x-rays or required record from a previous physician, we will need to reschedule your appointment. Emergencies (Outside of Office Hours) In case of an emergency outside of the regular office hours - e.g., weekend, holiday, or late evening, please call the same office number. Our answering service will contact the physician who is on call. If you believed the emergency is serious or life threatening go directly to an emergency department for immediate care or call 911 and have someone notify our office. Identify yourself as a patient of Lowcountry Orthopaedics.  We encourage you to call during office hours so that you have a better chance of reaching your regular physician and he will have your medical records available.   Canceling an Appointment   Your appointment time may vary depending on the doctor’s hospital rounds and surgery schedule. We believe that everyone’s time is valuable and in the event of a delay, we will do our best to notify you in advance.  If you are unable to keep an appointment, we ask that you kindly provide us with at least 48 hours notice.  This will make it possible to give your appointment to another patient. Failure to notify the office may result in a $25 service fee.  If you need to be seen immediately, we will do our best to accommodate you.     Waiting Time   At LCO, we realize your time is valuable and that every patient, and their condition, is unique with different needs which may require more time than planned. Therefore, we will make every effort to provide you with the highest quality care and to minimize your waiting time. In the event of a delay or unforeseen emergency we will notify you and give an option to reschedule. As this is a surgical practice, there may be times a surgery may take longer than expected which may cause a delay in clinic start time. Every effort will be made to accommodate for this. We will do our best to notify you if/when this occurs.   Again, Thank you for your trust in LCO and we look forward to serving you.
