Are you feeling sick today and need to be seen? In our practice we believe that our patients should have the ability to see one of our providers the same day or at a convenient time for you. Give us a call and we will be able to either schedule you for a same day visit or make an appointment to be seen later on in the week. These appointments are reserved to be booked on the same day so that our patients can be seen by a provider at the medical practice that has their medical records, their list of medications and can provide the most comprehensive care for them. There could be a longer wait time with these appointments. Please note that an urgent visit is not an Emergency visit. IF THIS IS AN EMERGENCY, PLEASE CALL 911

When you think about it, if your health is poor, those golden years won't be golden for you. What you need in terms of preventive care depends on your age, your personal risk factors and family history. Depending on where you are in that spectrum, you may be requiring regular preventive care including physicals, routine cholesterol screening, PSA screening if a male, and pap smears and mammograms if you are a female. Routine immunizations are also important. When was your last tetanus shot? We will encourage you to make your wellness appointments on a regular basis not because our revenue is low, but because your long term health is important to us.
