What to expect during your visit:

As a new patient you will be asked to fill out health history and demographics forms. 

• When you check in you will be asked for a copy of your insurance cards and to verify your address and phone number

• The nurse or medical office assistant will take you to an exam room and measure your height, weight and other vital signs that will be needed for your visit.

• The nurse or medical office assistant may review your medications and medical history and update any previous information.

• The nurse/MOA and the provider will input your information into our electronic health record.  This allows better tracking of your health maintenance and prescription refills and better access to your medical record by the providers.

• The doctor or nurse practitioner (provider) will then examine you and either perform a procedure or advise you on how to manage your symptoms or condition.

• If your condition requires additional testing, the provider will write an order or a referral and let you know where that test can be done.  The nurse will call you with your test result or your provider will discuss them with you at your follow up appointment.  If you have not heard from our staff and have questions about your results, please wait at least 3 days before calling to allow us time to receive and review the result.

• If you need a medication to assist you to manage your condition, the provider will either call your pharmacy or electronically send your prescription to the pharmacy of your choice.

• You will check out with the clinic receptionist and make any follow up appointments that may be necessary.  We ask that you pay your office visit co-pay at this time.

• If you are unsure if you need to be seen for the symptoms you are experiencing, call and speak to our phone nurse.  She will review the symptoms with you and discuss your case with the provider if needed.  She will then assist you in making an appointment if necessary.

• We require an appointment with the provider and a strep test or urine culture before prescribing an antibiotic for symptoms that indicate a possibility of infection in these areas.  This is for your safety and the prevention of growth of drug resistant organisms.
