Open Scheduling

We encourage our patients to make use of our open scheduling hours for minor problems and illness such as sore throats, colds and flu. These open scheduling hours are: Monday through Thursday from 8:am - 8:30 am. No appointment is necessary and new patients are welcome.

Appointments

We take appointments and make every effort to see patients as quickly as possible. We try to follow a timely schedule; however, sometimes it becomes necessary to divert attention to severely ill patients that present with life threatening emergencies. We ask for your understanding when this happens. We will keep you informed of delays so that you may reschedule your appointment if necessary.

We follow our appointment schedule and not the order of sign-ins. At times we may call patients out of order. These patients may only need to see the nurse, or have blood drawn. If you are unable to keep an appointment, please call to cancel or reschedule your appointment as early as possible. This will be helpful to other patients.

Your Office Visit

For your first Visit with the Doctor you will need to fill out a medical history form. Please bring with you on every visit, a list of all the medicines or drugs that for any reason you are currently taking. The dosage of each will also need to be listed. Please bring a list of all the medicines that have caused you an allergic reaction. This information will be used by the Doctor to help provide comprehensive care.
