Do I need a referral to see Dr. Shekailo?

Referral requirements depend on your insurance plan. While many patients can schedule directly, some plans require a referral from your primary care physician. Nevertheless, our staff will help verify your specific requirements.

What should I bring to my appointment?

Please bring your insurance cards, photo ID, a current list of your medications, and any recent X-rays or MRI studies. If you don’t have imaging, we can arrange this at our facility.

Does Dr. Shekailo perform minimally invasive surgery?
