Appointment policies

It is very important that you attend all scheduled appointments. Availability is limited, and a missed appointment can impact timely treatment for you and others.

While we understand that emergencies and other unexpected situations do arise, we request you provide us with a 24-hour notice in the event you are unable to make an appointment and need to reschedule.

Please arrive 30 minutes ahead of your appointment time.

If you arrive less than 15 minutes before your appointment time, we may need to reschedule your appointment. Your time with the provider is very important and arriving 15 minutes before your appointment time ensures that our nursing staff can prepare you for your visit and the providers are able to meet all your needs.

Preparing for Your First Appointment

We want to make the most of your visit here just as much as you do. Here are some tips on what to do before your first evaluation.

  • List questions and topics you’d like to discuss with your care team.
    List of injuries you’ve had.
  • Document the symptoms you are experiencing and for how long.
  • Bring a partner, family member, or friend who can act as a second set of ears, take notes and prompt you if you forget anything.
  • Ask for clarity on anything you don’t understand. Medical terms can be daunting, and we want you to feel confident while you’re here and after you leave.

What to bring

For your first evaluation appointment, please also bring with you the following:

  • Driver’s license or ID
  • Medical insurance card
