The following steps will ensure that your visit with us is as stress-free and relaxed as possible.
- Please bring your license and insurance card with you for us to photocopy for your chart.
- Fill out a new patient health history form. This should have been mailed to you so that you can complete it at home and bring it in at your scheduled appointment to save you time. If you have not done this prior to your appointment, please arrive about 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment to do so.
- Look at the Contact Us section for a map of our location and directions from your house to our clinic.
- It is best not to insert anything vaginally 48-72 hours prior to your pap.
- For best cervical cell sampling, try to plan your pap around day 14 of your cycle – counting day #1 as the first day of your period. This is when the cells are the "ripest" and best viewed under the microscope.
- If you know you want your cholesterol checked, please fast for 8 hours prior to your lab draw. Do, however, drink plenty of water. You may also have coffee but it has to be plain, no milk or sugar. Also, please take all your medications as scheduled. These should not be held on the day of your appointment.
