Patient Care
Appointments
We make every effort to see all patients at their appointed time and request that you extend the same courtesy to us. On occasion, emergencies do arise and whenever possible you will be informed of any delay. We request that you notify our office immediately if you will be late for your scheduled appointment. This allows us to utilize the time to attend to other patients.
On your first visit at Advanced Neurology of the Palm Beaches, Dr. Zuniga-Barboni will review your medical background with special attention to your present problems.
We always try to accommodate any additional testing such as nerve conduction studies, EMG and EEG on the same visit to help you save time. Afterward you may still need additional testing to determine the diagnosis and lead to a specific treatment.
A follow up visit will be scheduled to discuss the results of any additional tests and treatment. It is very important to keep these scheduled appointments.
Canceling Appointments
A notice of at least 24 hours is required should you be unable to keep your scheduled appointment. We reserve the right to charge a fee for missed appointments.
Doctor-Patient Relations
We will make a special effort to explain your condition, medication, treatment, etc. Should you have a question or if something is not clear, please do not hesitate to ask. Our personnel, office procedures and medical equipment were chosen with much thought and care to provide the best quality medical services in a pleasant, efficient and friendly atmosphere.

We do however; ask that you please do not wait until you are out of medication to request a refill. Please be aware there will be times when your physician may wish to see you prior to authorizing a refill. It is our policy not to dispense or renew medications over the telephone after office hours.
