Patient Q & As

Unfortunately no, we do not have access to other physicians, ER or Urgent Care’s X-rays.  Never rely on someone else to send your images (they can get lost in the mail, sometimes are never sent, or take many weeks to arrive at the office).  It is recommended that you bring in any X-rays or MRI’s that you have on a disc or film.  If you cannot get a copy of your current X-rays or you are indicated for new X-rays, they can be obtained at the office at the time of your visit and will be interpreted by Dr. Halbrecht.

You should plan on 1 hour for your first visit.  Follow up visits usually take less time depending on how your injury is progressing.

Dr. Halbrecht performs surgeries at the Pleasant View Surgery Center and Northwest Specialty Hospital.

If you are indicated for an MRI, Dr. Halbrecht will order this for you and the staff will help you schedule your MRI, schedule your follow-up appointment, and answer any questions you may have about the MRI.

Please give our office a call if you are having problems after hours or on the weekend.

It’s always better to be seen sooner rather than later if you have sustained an injury.  The sooner Dr. Halbrecht can assess your needs, the sooner we can get you stabilized in a cast/brace or schedule you for surgery if needed.  There is no need to delay your treatment.
