Appointments

New/Established Patients
If you are a new patient to our practice, please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment. At your first visit, please provide the following information:

If you are a returning patient, please arrive 10 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment. At your return visit, our staff will confirm your information to ensure our records are accurate.

Well Child Visits, School Physicals and Annual Appointments
We encourage our patients to plan in advance for routine annual exams, as these can take several weeks to schedule. Please note that most insurance companies allow 1 physical per calendar year for adults. Families with children are encouraged to contact our office in the spring to begin scheduling upcoming school and sports physicals to ensure that children are seen before the start of the school year. Follow-up well child examinations should be scheduled before you leave the office to ensure that your child is seen in the appropriate time frame.
All forms necessary for school, college, camp or sports physicals should be brought in at the time of your physical or child’s physical. In the event that you are not due for a physical and you need the forms completed by the provider, we ask that you allow the office 1 week to complete the forms. If you have not been seen within the past 6 months, we will ask that you schedule an appointment to have these forms completed to allow your provider to determine the state of your health.
