Scheduling an Appointment...
For regular appointments, call your clinic (Click here for clinic locations and phone numbers) and ask
for your provider's receptionist to schedule your appointment.
For urgent or emergency medical situations please call 911 or go to the emergency room. For urgent or emergency questions after normal clinic hours, call the clinic phone number as listed. Your call will be forwarded to our nurse triage system or other appropriate staff. If necessary, your physician or the physician on call will be contacted.
Routine appointments such as "follow-up" appointments, physicals and yearly pelvic and paps need to be scheduled in advance. Acute illnesses such as sore throats or other infections may be scheduled the same day. If you feel you have an urgent health problem and are told there is not an available appointment, please ask to talk to the nurse.
Come Prepared...
You can make the most of your appointment if you come prepared. Please write
down the questions you want to ask your health care provider. Then you can make sure you
don't forget anything. If you need to call your health care provider, you will probably
talk to his or her nurse. The nurse is your link to the health care provider. He/She has
received special training to answer your questions. If it is something the nurse isn't
sure of, He/She will check with your health care provider.
