Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Does the practice offer telehealth appointments?
Telehealth visits are available for established patients with conditions suitable for remote evaluation. Common telehealth uses include medication refills, minor illness follow-up, and results review. Your provider can advise whether an in-person visit is necessary.
How often should I schedule a primary care visit?
