What To Expect At Your Visit
First Appointment: Meet and Greet
Step One: Bring the following with you:
- ID
- Medical Insurance Cards
- Medication List
- Make time for 30 minutes, including driving time
- List of questions regarding the concierge service
Step Two: Meet the doctor!
- During the meet and greet, the patient and the doctor can introduce themselves to each other and better understand how the concierge service can benefit the patient over the traditional primary practice.
Step Three: Sign Up!
- Once the meet and greet ends, the patient decides if concierge medicine is for them. If so, they can sign up the same day, get set up for their New Patient Visit, and fill out their new patient paperwork!
- If they want to sleep on it, they can call us anytime to schedule their new patient visit and sign up when they come in.

- Medication List (if it changed between meet and greet to the new patient)
