What to Expect

If you are seeking health care in the primary care clinic please contact the Patient Access Department and schedule an appointment. As you enter the clinic you will check in at registration to let our Clinic Nurses know that you have arrived for your appointment. You will then be called back to get your height and weight as you are escorted to your room. Once in the room the Nurse or Support Staff will being to take vital signs and go through a series of questions with you. The Nurse will take the information gathered and relay it to the Provider you are scheduled to see for that appointment. Once the Provider is available, they will enter and begin their assessment. The provider will place any medication, Laboratory, Radiology, etc. orders for you that are necessary for treatment. After your appointment is finished, stop by scheduling and make your follow up appointment.

Please be 10 to 15 minutes early for your appointment. This will ensure that you are allowed time to fill out any necessary paperwork. Once you are checked in, wait in the lobby to be called back. If you have any questions during your visit, please feel free to ask!
