Scheduling Your Appointment
Office visits are arranged by appointment only. When you call for your appointment, it is important to be direct and thorough about the reason for your request. We understand that some requests may be private and respect your wish to request a visit for "personal reasons." However, when you provide the reason for your visit, the support staff can schedule an appropriate amount of time to address your needs. In the event that your physician is not available to see you within a medically acceptable timeframe, you may be seen by another member of the clinical team that you selected (either nurse practitioner/physician assistant or a physician).
If you are having a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or your local emergency access number. If you are unsure of your medical needs, call our office number any time day/night and you will be directed to the appropriate staff person.
Arrive 10 minutes early
Please arrive 10 minutes before your appointment time. This will allow time for you to complete the registration and check-in process. Our goal is to see patients at the time of their scheduled appointment, however, on occasion, there will be unavoidable delays as a result of medical emergencies.
Late arrivals
If you arrive late for an appointment and your physician is still able to see you, please understand that your time together may be shortened so that other patients will not be kept waiting. You may elect to reschedule or wait until the end of your physician's schedule where it is possible to devote more time. Again, our goal is to make the most of you and your physician's visit together.
If you need to cancel an appointment, please call 24 hours in advance so that we may use the appointment time for another patient.
