Appointments

Call 860-310-5559 during business hours to make an appointment or use our convenient online scheduler (see below).

Telehealth

We offer telehealth appointments and in person appointments.

All insurances with which we participate have been covering Telehealth services during the pandemic and so far, they continue to do so through June 30, 2024. Changes may occur after June 30 ,2024.
Links for your telehealth visit can be found in your confirmation email, your reminder email and under appointments in your patient portal.
We use the enhanced-security Zoom platform which is HIPAA-compliant for the security of your protected health information.
Our doctors are licensed in Connecticut only. Therefore licensing requirements dictate that patients must be in the state of CT for telehealth sessions. We are not permitted to do telehealth into other states.

In Person Appointments

Appointments booked online can be either in person or telehealth. Please indicate the appointment type you prefer when booking.
If you would like to change your appointment type please call or message the front desk.

New Patients

All new patients are asked to create a patient portal account and complete your new patient paperwork there.

New patient paperwork must be completed 48 hours or more before your visit. If paperwork has not been completed, we will reschedule your appointment to allow more time.
If you have any difficulty accessing the patient portal to complete your paperwork, please call our office for assistance more than 48 hours prior to your appointment so that we may assist you.
This paperwork includes a detailed past medical history that your doctor will review before your visit. Please allow 30-45 minutes to complete it.
We recommend that you complete this paperwork on a desktop or laptop computer, or an ipad. The system is not mobile-friendly and attempting to complete the forms on your phone is not recommended.

For your convenience, we also offer online scheduling. The online scheduling link will take you to an external website.

New Patient: you have never seen Dr. Hunter, Dr. Louden, or Dr. Neffinger at any location or if you have not seen them in the last 3 years.
