What exactly is a complete physical exam?

It is a comprehensive history and head to toe examination. It may or may not include an EKG, CXR, a stress test, or other screening tests depending on the patient’s age, sex, prior history or risk factors.

What if I can’t make my appointment?

Call immediately to reschedule! This not only helps you but also allows another sick patient to be able to seen in your opening.

How long does it take to get refills?

Do not wait until you are completely out of your medication before calling. We require 48-hour advance notice of refill requests in order that we may properly record them and contact the pharmacy. The most efficient and accurate way to request a refill is to contact your pharmacy, they will let us know exactly what you need so we can process the request quickly.

What should I bring to my appointment?

New patients should bring their insurance card, immunization records (children), and any previous medical record if not already sent to the practice and a current list of medications.
