If my doctor tells me he is not affiliated with Riverpark, is it true that I cannot have procedures, surgeries, or tests there?
No, your physician does not have to be affiliated with Riverpark to order services. Simply ask your physician’s office to call regarding surgery scheduling or x-ray procedures (MRI, CT, Ultrasound, Digital Mammography, general x-ray procedures). Q: Should I worry that an Ambulatory Care Center doesn’t have medical support staff nearby should my procedure become complicated or an emergency arise? I feel better knowing I’m near a full services hospital. Is this a legitimate concern? A: Ambulatory Care Center’s are not only required to have the staff and emergency services you will need, they also have arrangements with local hospitals if the for transfer should arise. Riverpark has been thoroughly inspected by the Louisiana Department of Health, Louisiana State Fire Inspection as well as inspections from Medicare. Our Anesthesia personnel are highly trained for all emergency situations.
