Dr. Columbus was nominated for the prestigious award of Best Women's Practice of Florida (solo or group) 2005 by Florida Medical Business News. This honor could not have occurred without the support and confidence of our referring physicians and patients. You can be assured that Dr. Columbus provides quality and competent pain management to her patients in the community.
Existing patients are now able to perform on line consultations with the doctor. We know that coming in for an office visit is not always convenient and has a real cost to you as a patient. Co-payments, gas and parking, lost wages, child care and other costs of office visits add up and we are sensitive to these costs and value your time. Our online Consultation service and modest associated fee are designed not only for your convenience, but also to save you money when your questions, that previously required an office visit, can be adequately answered online. Online Consultations will not be the ideal service for all patients, but it will serve the needs of many and we are happy to offer this new service and convenience to you.
We are proud to announce that our practice is now offering an exciting new service: A free and secure interactive health record for all my patients.
