We understand that you time is valuable. We make every effort to see you at your scheduled appointment time. Emergencies, complications, and other issues will occasionally cause unexpected delays. If your doctor is running more than 15 minutes late, we will advise you of your expected wait time.

Before you see the doctor, a medical assistant (MA) will take you to one of our comfortable, modern exam rooms. The MA will ask you some preliminary questions about your visit and record your vital signs. If your physician is delayed, the MA will keep you informed. If testing is ordered during your appointment, please ask when to expect the results.
