Except in urgent situations, we would like you to call several days ahead for an appointment. Preventive care, such as family planning, well-child exams and physicals, are usually scheduled two to three weeks in advance. If you need an appointment on the same day, please call early in the morning. We will do the best we can to see you.
To help us give you the right kind of appointment, please tell the receptionist enough information about your medical concern.
Please bring these items with you for your first visit:
NOTE: Since we do not provide child care services, if you are bringing children who do not have an appointment, please bring someone along to care for your children during your appointment. Our staff cannot take this responsibility.
Good Faith Estimate: Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
