Friends & Family Program

To accommodate your work schedule, appointments are scheduled on select weekdays between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Extended hours and lunchtime appointments are available in DCAM. If you have an urgent concern, we will make every effort to see you the same day. If you need lab tests, an ultrasound or a mammogram, we will strive to schedule your procedures close to your appointment time. Your insurance coverage will be verified in advance.

Your appointment will be completed within 45 minutes. You will be guided through your visit quickly and efficiently, while receiving individualized care and personalized time with your doctor.

You can be assured that your visit and your medical records will always be treated with the utmost confidentiality.

Test results are sent promptly through the patient portal, MyChart, and you may use the portal to contact your provider or care team. When results are abnormal, your physician will call you directly. Whenever you have questions, you will have ready access to your doctor.
