Arriving to your appointment early allows you check in and be ready in your exam room by your appointment time, allowing your physician to meet with you promptly.

We are committed to providing you with the best medical care possible, and this requires having a complete understanding of all your current medications and treatments. If a medication was added or removed by a physician at another practice, we may not have been informed. We appreciate this can be frustrating, and we work hard to make your process as simple as possible.
