There has been a recent increase in scammers posing as physicians or medical offices in an attempt to steal personal and sensitive information via phone. These criminals can make it look like the call is coming from our office number. If you receive a call asking for personal information, please do not provide it unless you are certain the request is legitimate. You may want to ask for information that would likely not be known by an outsider such as “What was the date of my last appointment?” The safest choice is to tell the caller you will hang up and call the office back.
