Express Patient FAQs

When is Express available?

Beginning February 4th, 2021,  we will begin offering Express every Thursday.

Our goal with Express appointments has always been to provide patients with busy schedules a convenient opportunity to come in on Thursday morning before work or other scheduled activities. We had many patients whose treatments qualified for these quick in-and-out visits where they could meet with a provider and still maintain their busy schedule.

We know this was a popular, convenient and much-needed service and we’ve always been proud to offer them.

Remember, if you are an Express patient and want the option of these convenient visits, we will have them available on a NEW schedule on Thursdays- starting on February 4, 2021.

What's an "Express" patient?

An established patient that has been seen at least 3 times since starting the program and has been seen within the last 6 months.

An established patient that:

  • Does not need any change in their medication regimen.
  • Does not need to add new medication.
  • Has no new medical issues.
  • Does not require any nutritional counseling.
  • Only requires a refill on their existing medication.

What happens on an Express visit?

We will weigh the patient, check your blood pressure, body fat % and BMI, ask a couple of questions and refill your medication.

Do I have to schedule an appointment?

Yes, an appointment is required.

Do I have to pay an office visit fee?

The fee for an Express visit is $75, plus medication. If you have a visits from a pre-paid package, you may use them for this Express appointment.

Can I get my injections on that day?

Yes. You can get your injections during your appointment.

It's been more than 6 months since I was seen. Can I still come in?

Unfortunately, no. We would need to see you during our normal business hours.
