Appointments

You may make an appointment by calling our office at (503) 371-3232 during office hours. When you call for an appointment, please tell the receptionist the specific reason for your visit so he/she can make sure to allow enough time for your visit.

Arrival Time for Appointments

We realize that your time is valuable and we try very hard to stay on schedule. In an effort to maintain a timely schedule, our policy is to reschedule a patient’s appointment if they show up more than ten (10) minutes late for their designated time. We will defer to your physician before rescheduling. Because of emergencies and medical complications, there will be times when delays occur and it may even be necessary to reschedule your appointment.

Appointment Changes/Cancellations

If you need to cancel or change your appointment, please do so at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance. For your convenience, you may cancel your appointment through our answering service if our office is closed by calling our main number at 503-371-3232. (Note that only our main phone number after hours will be directed to the answering service. Please check the number before calling if you are using caller ID). Each physician attempts to leave time in his or her daily schedule for urgent medical problems. Please be sure to bring a list of all current prescription medications to your first visit.

Fasting for Labs

If one of our providers has ordered fasting labs for you, the following are the instructions: 12 hour fast and that means no food. Medications and supplements are okay. Water and one cup of of black coffee (no cream or sugar) are okay.
