Open communication with your health care provider ensures you receive the very best possible care. Follow these tips during your next appointment:

• Bring a complete list of your medications, including over-the-counter drugs, vitamins and herbal supplements, along with their dosages and directions.

• Have a list of health concerns you’d like to discuss with your provider. Review your questions for your provider and ensure your top three concerns are addressed during your visit.

• Bring details of any health care providers you’ve previously seen, including names, dates of treatment and contact information.

• Please arrive 30 minutes early to ensure timely check-in and no more than 10 minutes late to help minimize wait times. We understand emergencies may arise and will accommodate them when possible.

• Only urgent issues will be addressed after hours. For non-emergent concerns, please schedule an appointment. Prescription refills are limited outside regular office hours.

• Don’t forget to schedule your follow-up appointment before leaving the office to ensure timely and consistent care.

If you have pending lab or test results, there's no need to call our office unless specifically instructed by your provider. Once reviewed, results will be available on your patient portal. If your physician deems it necessary to discuss the results, they or a certified medical assistant will contact you with recommendations. Please ensure we have your up-to-date phone number on file to reach you.
