Making an Appointment

Please have the following information ready when calling to schedule your appointment:

 

  • Patient’s full name

If you are an established patient, you can request an appointment through our Patient Portal. If you do not have a Patient Portal account, please call our office and we can get you setup with one. It is very important that prior to your appointment, you verify that we have the correct insurance information on file. Failure to inform us of an insurance change may lead to unpaid charges that will be the patients’ responsibility.

 

What to bring to your Appointment

Please bring identification and your insurance card to each visit and notify us of any changes in your address, phone number, and/or insurance information. To assist your provider, new patients and patients with new prescriptions are asked to bring all medications (prescription and non-prescription) to each visit.
