How to Prepare for Your First Appointment
A little preparation helps ensure your first visit goes smoothly and allows your physician to make the most of your time together.
Get a Referral
Most appointments require a referral from your primary care physician or hospital provider. They will send referral information to our office. For HIV prevention services (PrEP), hepatitis C evaluation, or travel medicine consultations, you may contact us directly without a physician referral.
Verify Insurance
Contact our office or your insurance company to verify that we are in network with your plan. Our staff will work with your insurance to obtain prior authorization when required.
Gather Documents
Collect your photo ID, insurance card, referral paperwork if applicable, a list of all current medications, relevant medical records or imaging, and any test results from other providers.
Arrive Early
Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment to complete registration and paperwork. Bring a list of questions you want to discuss with your physician.
