What do I need to bring for my appointment?
To properly treat you, we review your medical records, X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT scan), myelograms, electromyelogram (EMG) and any other testing you may have had done in the past six months. All testing must be current within the last six months.
It is very important that you either bring this medical information with you at the time of your appointment or have it sent to Neurosurgical Associates at least a week before your scheduled visit. If your medical information is not available at the time you arrive, we may have to reschedule your appointment.

How do I request a medication refill?
Because each patient's care is different, our providers must check patient files before ordering or refilling prescriptions. For this reason, please allow 24 hours for prescriptions to be addressed. Medications are refilled Monday through Friday during business hours. Medications are not refilled on evenings or weekends.
You or your pharmacy may request refills by calling our refill request line at (612) 879-7192.
When you call our office, be prepared to give the following information:
- Your name
-
- Your date of birth
-
- Your phone number
-
- The name of your physician
-
- The type of medication
-
- The amount of medication
-
- The date when the medication was filled last.
-
- The name and phone number of the pharmacy where you would like the medication refilled.
Please note, per Minnesota State Law, we cannot call in a refill to your pharmacy for any Level II narcotics. All Level II narcotic prescriptions will be either mailed directly to your pharmacy or you may pick it up at our office. No exceptions.
A Nurse may contact you if there are any questions about your refill.

How can I find out my test results?
Many patients are anxious to receive their test results. Most results are received in our office and reviewed by our providers within three to five days, but some tests may take longer. If your test result is found to be critically abnormal, you will be notified as soon as possible by either the physician or staff to further discuss it. If your test result is found to be within normal limits, you will either receive a follow-up letter or telephone call. However, if you have not received your test results within 10 days, please call our office and request the results. Our staff will be glad to return your call.
