We are sorry but we can not accommodate “walk in” patients. In most cases appointments are given by referral from our patients primary physicians.
Dr. Fusco does however, see patients who are “self-referred” for acid reflux disease (GERD) and weight loss issues(including intra-gastric balloon (BIB) removal.
MIMA also offers MIMA NOW, a walk in clinic with extended hours and same day walk in service.

Instructions for Patients being seen for:
Acid Reflux / Hiatal Hernia: Patients who have undergone an upper GI series or CT scan are asked to bring your films to your appointment. This is not necessary if your studies were done at MIMA. Call the facility where you had the studies at least two days prior to your appointment to make necessary arrangements. Please be sure the radiology reports are included with the films. Please notify us if you have undergone endoscopy, manometry, or ambulatory pH testing; and where these tests have been performed so we can make arrangements to obtain results of these studies.
Hemorrhoids or anorectal problems: Do two fleets™ enemas 1-2 hours prior to your appointment. Fleets™ enemas may be purchased over the counter at most pharmacies and supermarkets.
After Hours Calls
After hours calls are routed via our answering service to Dr. Fusco or the "on call" surgeon.
Questions concerning scheduling, billing, or administrative matters can not be handled outside of business hours. It is also our practice to not refill narcotic pain medications outside of business hours. This policy helps to assure that these potentially addictive drugs are properly monitored. The policy is necessitated by the common practice of those who abuse these drugs of calling for refills after hours when they feel a physician less familiar with their case might handle the request for refills. We therefore ask that patients monitor their supply and use of pain medications so that refill requests can be processed during business hours.
