We also offer medication management monitoring to help ensure adherence to prescribed treatments.

To make your first appointment as productive as possible, please bring several important items. You should have a valid photo identification, your insurance card, and a list of all medications you currently take including dosages. It is helpful to bring any recent medical records or test results from other healthcare providers, especially if they relate to your reason for visiting. A list of your allergies, previous surgeries, and significant medical history will help your provider understand your health background. If you have specific health concerns or questions, writing them down beforehand ensures you do not forget to discuss them. For telemedicine visits, make sure you have a device with a camera and microphone in a quiet, private location. Arriving a few minutes early allows time to complete any necessary paperwork.
