Our Facility

We are proud of our office here at Disc & Spine of California. Patients are the heart of our practice, so it makes sense that we would go out of the way to provide comfortable waiting and treatment areas complete with the types of amenities you would expect from the premier orthopedic practice in Danville. Our office is filled with state of the art diagnostic and treatment technology to ensure accuracy and early detection of complications. We believe our patients deserve only the best, and our staff works hard to deliver a superior experience at every visit.

We know that your time is valuable. That’s why we offer a simplified office experience with online patient forms that you can complete prior to your appointment. You’ll spend less time in the waiting area, streamlining your initial visit. These forms help us better understand your background, allowing us to provide you with the most effective care possible. As always, please do not hesitate to contact us is you have any questions about patient forms or your appointment.

Please note that you’ll need the latest version of adobe acrobat to download all patient forms.

Our office welcomes many types of insurance, and our insurance and payment coordinator will be happy to assist you in determining what type of benefits are available to you through your insurance plan. Payment arrangements for account balances are due at the time services are rendered, so please bring your insurance card with you to your first visit. We accept many forms of payment, including cash and most major credit cards. You can also speak with our office administrator about flexible payment options available for major medical services.

If you have lingering questions concerning the financial aspect of your visit, our office administrators are on-hand during our regular business hours to answer your questions and address your concerns.
