New Patients

To enhance your experience visiting the Haben Practice for Voice, please take a few minutes to review our billing and insurance information, policy regarding medical records and consider filling out the mandatory medical questionnaire online so that it may be transmitted and up loaded into your electronic medical record in advance of the time of your visit. This will also give you the opportunity to become familiar with our patient portal (Coming Soon). The portal is a secure online access to your personal medical information through this office 24 hours a day. Via the patient portal, patients have the ability to schedule appointments, communicate with the physicians, nurses and staff, as well as request medication refills and a number of other-related activities. Filling out the questionnaire online will save you from having to fill out a hard copy at the time of your check in.

Out-of-town clients

Many clients become aware of Dr. Haben's reputation regarding laryngeal cancer and laser endoscopic organ-preserving resections once they have already been diagnosed and are searching the Internet for other options. No definitive consultation or opinion can be rendered over the telephone, however Dr. Haben, as a courtesy, is willing to review a case and determine if an in-person consultation is warranted. Please contact Sandy at (585) 442-1110 and be prepared to forward all medical records, pathology slides and relevant scans on CD. Only once these have been reviewed, Dr. Haben will determine whether or not an in-person consultation is warranted.
