To expedite appropriate care and treatment, please bring all X-rays, reports, and medical information regarding your injury to your scheduled appointment. Please arrive approximately 30 minutes prior to your first clinic visit to allow ample time for the completion of the necessary demographic information and medical history. Alternatively, you can download patient history forms from this website and fill them out prior to your visit. In that case, we ask that you arrive 15 minutes prior to your initial visit.

Each patient's time is extremely valuable and no one should be kept waiting. However, unanticipated problems or emergencies can put a clinic schedule behind. A patient can greatly assist our office in keeping clinic waits to a minimum by having all appropriate medical records, x-ray studies and insurance information at the time of their check-in.

If you must cancel an appointment please give as early notice as possible so that other patients may have the opportunity to take advantage of the time slot.

Dr. Nagda shares "call" with other orthopedic surgeons within the Anderson Clinic. If an issue arises after hours, please call his office (703-892-6500) where the answering service will put you through to the surgeon on call. If an emergency arises, the patient should go directly to the nearest emergency room where they will be evaluated by an emergency room attendant.

Prescriptions are given to patients while in the office. Prescriptions may be occasionally refilled over the phone ("called in") on a case-by-case basis. Refills of medications, in particular narcotics are not made after hours or by the on-call physician. If your pain is increased or requires additional narcotic medication after clinic hours we suggest you go to a local emergency room for evaluation of the increased discomfort.

We will make every effort to see patients as soon as possible. Emergency conditions will be seen immediately during regular office hours. Non-emergent injuries will be scheduled within 48 hours and elective clinic visits will be scheduled within 1 week.
