Provider referral FAQs

Do you send progress notes back to referring providers?

Yes. Collaborative care is core to how we practice — we share progress so dentists, orthodontists, ENTs, SLPs, and other partners stay in the loop.

Which office will my patient be seen at?

York (1404 E Market St) or Bird in Hand (3176 Old Philadelphia Pike), whichever is more convenient. Both offices provide the same in-person evaluation standard.
