3/7/2023 - We are on hold for accepting patients .
The office has received enough new patient requests. Respectfully hold off on sending your new patient email until next update. We would really like to catch up.
If you are pregnant, we appreciate hearing from you as soon as you decide our practice is right for you, as our monthly quotas fill up fast. Let us know your due date, phone number, insurance, who referred you, location and your commitment to your health. Dr. Punger wrote a book for you, especially young mothers to help with birth plans and breastfeeding. Dr Punger sees BOTH mother and newborn together for optimal outcomes. Permission to Mother is now required reading if you have children under two or are pregnant (with rare emergent exceptions). Note the insurances we accept. Serious inquiries only. Let us know you came via the website.
**When appointments open again, please send an email to the gmail, below, during business hours. Let us know that you came via the website. Include your name, how many want to establish in your family, where you live, and a phone number. We would like to know who referred you and a short bit about your commitment to your health. If your request is for a few months down the road, let us know that. (If you reached out months or years before, you may send a new email. ) Dr Punger reviews the email requests. Convince her why you should be in the practice. If there is no phone number, you are hard to reach, just looking for any physician, or you send multiple emails, she deletes your request. Note the insurance plans we currently take. Serious inquiries only.
Many of you don't send a phone number. We have learned that its hard to find you if we have cancellations.
Note:
We are on BCBS, *but not blue select and my blue.
We are on Aetna, UHC, PHCS, and maybe a few small insurances.
We are on Medicare, but not replacement HMOs.
Check with your Tricare. Many of our patients use cost sharing plans.
We do not take any form of Medicaid. No Cigna, No Humana
Private pay and cost sharing **
Mothers and newborns (baby's first office visit) are seen together. This is an office visit for each.

"So happy to have found such an awesome doctor for my family. Dr. Punger is the perfect match for us.
She is willing to prescribe when needed, but also helps evaluate alternative options... a happy medium between your typical MD and some good-old-fashioned holistic healthcare... and I can nurse my baby
in her office without getting any funny looks!" ~CW
