Payments requested by our office

When Valley Neurology Group sends you a payment request, you can pay securely inside the Spruce Health app. Open the request in your VNG conversation and follow the payment instructions.

Use the payment request to enter payment details; do not send card information in a chat message or standard text. If you need a payment request or have a question about the amount, contact our office.

Secure Spruce messages and standard SMS are different. Messages inside your Spruce account use Spruce’s secure service. A text sent from your phone’s regular messaging app is standard SMS; use Spruce for private medical information.

Text the office: (661) 771-3065 · Call: (661) 776-3876

Both offices share the same communication contacts. Fax: (661) 766-3876
