Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I schedule a primary care visit?
Most adults benefit from an annual wellness visit even when feeling healthy. Patients managing chronic conditions such as hypertension or diabetes typically need more frequent check-ins, usually every three to six months depending on how well the condition is controlled.
Can my primary care provider manage specialist referrals?
Yes. A key role of primary care is coordinating specialist referrals, interpreting reports from other providers, and ensuring that all parts of your care are working together effectively.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring a valid photo ID, your insurance card, a list of current medications including supplements, and any relevant medical records or test results from previous providers. Arriving a few minutes early allows time to complete any required paperwork.
