Appointments
We make every effort to accommodate your needs when scheduling your appointment. If during your visit, your healthcare provider determines that more time is needed, or other services are required, we may request that you return at a later time. This will not only ensure that appropriate attention is given to your health care needs, but it will also allow other patients to be seen on schedule. Request an appointment >
- Please arrive at least 15 minutes early if you have had a change of name, address, phone or insurance, or if it is your first visit.
- If you cannot keep your appointment or if you will arrive late, please call us immediately.
- Please present your insurance card at each visit. It is the patient’s responsibility to understand their insurance coverage.
- Co-payments are due at the time of service. Non-urgent appointments may need to be rescheduled if co-payment is not made.
Referrals To Medical Specialists
If you wish to see a medical specialist, your insurance plan may first require a referral from a primary care provider. Our medical staff will work with you and your provider to ensure your special needs are met. Learn more about our specialty services >
