It is our custom and policy at Preventive Medicine
Associates to have people who are sick be seen
as soon as possible. It may not always be possible
for you to see your "favorite" or
regular doctor, but we will get you seen as
soon as we can depending on the severity of
your illness, the time of your call, etc.
Our office hours are from 8:45 a.m. until 5:00
p.m. Monday through Friday. After office hours,
the doctors can be reached by dialing the office
and following instructions. Routine problems,
prescription refills, insurance forms that have
to be filled out, etc. should be directed to
the office during working hours. Although the
doctors can and do prescribe medicines for patient's
problems over the phone, on nights and on weekends,
it is with the expectation of seeing the patient
subsequently in the office to follow up in order
to ascertain their response to the medicine,
their overall status, etc. It is difficult and
potentially dangerous to diagnose problems over
the phone without seeing the patient and that
is why we as a rule, request the patient to
follow up with personal visits in the office.
Please select
three preferred appointments. You will be contacted
by our office to confirm your appointment date
and time.
