If you are interested in setting up an initial comprehensive visit with Dr. LaCava, please contact our office at (508) 854-1380.
These appointments are scheduled for an hour in duration, but please plan to be here for approximately up to two hours. The initial visit requires questionnaires, checklists, and summaries that need to be completed by the patient (or parental guardian, if the patient is a minor). These forms can be sent to you by mail, or you can download them here on our website below. If you are not sure which forms to use, or have questions about the forms, please call us at 508-854-1380 on Monday, Wednesday or Thursday.
The forms that are appropriate for you need to be completed in full and returned to our office for receipt BEFORE your appointment. We highly recommend that you have these documents returned to the office AT LEAST ONE WEEK prior to your visit. Please note, if you send your information in advance, you will have a much better experience, since our physician will become familiar with your case in advance. For more information, or if you have questions, please contact our office and we will be happy to assist you.
