FAQ's

Frequently asked questions

Q. What is your appointment policy? We are not a walk-in clinic. Our physicians must work by appointment. Unfortunately, occasionally patient appointments do require longer time frames than scheduled. When this happens, your patience is appreciated. A sincere attempt is made to adhere to the clinic schedule as much as possible. The registration staff will advise you if the physician is significantly behind schedule. We ask that whenever possible, a return appointment for regular checkups be made before leaving the clinic.   Q. Are you accepting new patients? No. In an effort to keep our waitimes down we can not accept new pateints. You can search here Find a Physician   Q.  How do I get a refill on my prescription?
