Standard appointments are for 15 minutes. If you anticipate your problem will require more time than this, or if you have multiple problems, you should indicate this to the receptionist. Such situations may require a longer visit, and informing us ahead of time will enable us to better serve your needs and decrease waiting time for yourself and other patients. Patients are to arrive 10 to 15 minutes prior to their appointment in order to complete any pre-appointment paperwork, which will assist us in staying on time. We ask that new patients arrive twenty minutes prior to their scheduled appointment to fill out history and insurance forms. Patients late for appointments will routinely be rescheduled to another time, so as not to interfere with patients arriving in a timelier manner. Upon becoming a patient at First Care Physicians, you are associated with a specific provider. When you request an appointment, we will schedule you with your personal provider. If you have an urgent need, and your provider's schedule is full, you will be offered the next available appointment with your provider. Always bring your current insurance card with you to each visit.
