Your Initial Visit

When should I arrive?

Please arrive fifteen (15) minutes early to complete the registration process.

What should I bring with me?

  1. Photo Identification
  2. Insurance cards(s)
  3. Insurance referral from your Primary Doctor (if required by insurance)
  4. Completed new patient paperwork that was mailed to your home
  5. List of questions for the physician
  6. Paper/notebook and pen
  7. Compact disc of recent CT or PET scans, MRI, or ultrasounds.  You must contact the Radiology Center where your test was performed and request a copy.

Can I bring someone with me?

We encourage you to bring a family member or trusted friend with you to your appointment. It is often helpful to have that support and a “second set of ears”. We must limit guests to 1 (one) per patient. Our guest policy is subject to change without notice due to public health concerns. 

Are children allowed in the office?

For safety reasons, we do not allow children in the office. 

What happens when I arrive?

The receptionist will collect your paperwork, insurance cards, and photo identification. We will request to take a photo of you for your chart. You will be asked to electronically sign documents in your medical chart. These documents include consent to bill your insurance carrier and provide them with medical records, consent for our practice to view your prescription benefits and medication history, and a review of your privacy contact information.

Will I have an exam? 

Yes, most patients will have an internal pelvic exam.

How long will I be in the office? 

Every patient and diagnosis are different, but new patient appointments typically last 1-2 hours.
