Office Visits
It is our goal to make your office visit as pleasant as possible. Our
staff understands the importance of your health and will make every effort to
help in providing you with the best health care possible. To insure this,
please be able to furnish us with accurate and complete information
such as correct spelling of your name, social security, telephone numbers,
address, place of employment, insurance numbers and past medical history.
Soon you may fill out this information on-line. New patients will be asked
to complete an extensive
questionnaire
, before your first appointment.
Common Questions:
- Why do you ask that new patients arrive 30 minutes before the appointment
time?
- The appointment time is the time the doctor will try to see you but we
will need to verify your insurance information with the insurance company
and enter your information into our system.
- A an established patient, can I just 'pop in' to see the doctor without
an appointment?
- Yes you may, however you need to realize that the doctor will see the
people who scheduled appointments first, even if those people actually
arrive after you. People with appointments rightly expect to be seen as
close to their appointment time as possible.
- How much time will my Yearly Physical Exam take?
- This varies on what tests may be needed for your age and overall
health, but usually between 30 minutes to a hour.
