Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,606 Likes: 2 | Swati, I went to the New Patient section, filled out the self referral form and they called me the next day. I am not sure of exactly how it progressed but I remember them giving me a phone number after I faxed path reports and scan results and I was instructed to have my doctor call the doctor there.
