Check-In
If your paperwork is complete and can be presented at our receptionist desk, we ask that you arrive only 15 minutes prior to your appointment time.
If you have not completed the above paperwork for our receptionist, we ask that you arrive 30 minutes prior to your appointment time to complete your patient paperwork. This also allows for sufficient time for front office staff to follow up on your submitted paperwork, obtain signatures required for your medical protection and privacy and identify any missing items for your visit.
All patients, including returning patients, should bring a valid ID and a copy of their insurance card to each visit.
During Your Visit
Plan to speak openly with your provider about your questions and concerns. You can educate yourself on your symptoms by reviewing the content on our website. Also, take some time to review our staff page and familiarize yourself with our providers.
During your first visit, we make sure to obtain important background information, like your medical history and give you time to get to know your doctor. Most initial evaluations take approximately one hour. More complex or emergency (acute) type evaluations can take up to two hours. Please allow for sufficient time for us to complete the examination and provide the best care for you.
Please note that we are a teaching office and have students and residents rotating. Patients can always ask not to have them involved in their care.
Follow-Up
At the conclusion of your first visit, your provider will discuss any next steps, treatment plan options and follow-up appointments that may be necessary. Our front office staff will be happy to assist with you any follow-up scheduling before you leave.
