Appointment Information
Diabetes is best managed by a team of health care providers. We believe strongly in the valued role played by our nurse practitioners, certified diabetes educators, pharmacist and nutritionist in the care of patients with diabetes. In addition to being seen by one of our physicians, our patients commonly also see one of our nurse practitioners, Erica Hall, Caitlin Nass, Susan Renda, or Cheryl Young, our pharmacist, Alona Crowder, or our nutritionist, Gene Arnold. These talented professionals have much to offer to help you manage your diabetes.
To schedule an appointment, please call 410-955-9270.
Please be sure to bring your glucose meter, an updated list of medications, referral (if you have one) AND insurance card to your appointment. Glucose readings are used to make adjustments to your treatment plan.
If you will be a NEW patient to our office, we have made available our new patient questionnaire online if you would like to print and fill out the forms before coming to your appointment. If you have any question about your visit, please contact the Diabetes Center at 410-955-3663.
We have also made available a referral form for our dietitian.
Multidisciplinary Diabetic Foot and Wound Clinic
The Multidisciplinary Diabetic Foot and Wound Clinic aims to protect and care for the feet of patients with diabetes. Foot care is a critical part of treating diabetic patients, as they are are two to five times more likely than other individuals to develop foot problems. Such conditions may include chronic lower extremity ischemia, or restricted blood flow to the legs and feet, as well as neuropathy, or nerve pain and nerve damage. These problems can cause sores and injuries that may go unnoticed until foot ulcers develop. Further diabetes complications may follow, which could ultimately lead to foot amputation.

Please try to go to the lab seven to 10 days before your appointment for testing if a lab slip was given to you at your last visit.

We will then write a letter reporting them to you, including a copy of your results. If any results need prompter action, we will contact you immediately, by phone. If you have not heard from us in two weeks call our office at 410-955-3663.
