If your symptoms are urgent and we are unable to get you in that day, we ask that you go to the Urgent Care or the nearest Emergency Room.
Paperwork
You may be asked to update your patient information form, health history, HIPPA and insurance paperwork as current information is required as an office policy as well as by your insurance company. We will also verify your insurance prior to appointments so we can minimize your time spent in the reception area. We want to make sure we have accurate information to submit your claims to your insurance company in a timely manner.

Our History
Bellevue Family Practice was founded in 1983 by Dr. Robert Saniuk. He partnered with Dr James Biskup in 1991. Both of the owners have strong roots in this area, and thoroughly enjoy practicing in Bellevue where they can remain close to family and friends. They both maintain personal relationships with many of their patients. Dr. Saniuk has retired from practicing medicine and Bellevue Family Practice is now owned by Dr. James Biskup.
Bellevue Family Practice has grown over the years from a relatively small office and patient base to a large independently owned practice that is served by one physician and four physicians assistants with over 120 years of combined experience, caring for a large diverse patient base. We offer many services right here in the clinic to make it as convenient for our patients to obtain the needed services. Check out the services tab for a complete list of the many services that we offer.
We thank you for your patience as we may be short staffed at times. Patients that are physically or verbally abusive to our staff may be asked to seek treatment elsewhere. If you have a complaint or recommendation, we ask that you ask to speak to a manager before posting on social media as we may not be able to address your complaint on social media because of HIPPA. Office Manager/Clinic Manager, [email protected] or Billing/Insurance/Collection/HIPAA Manager, [email protected]
