Services

MedProvider is made up of a group of 34 Internal Medicine Physicians specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the internal organs and functions of the adult body. The majority of our physicians are Board Certified in Internal Medicine and others are Board Certified in Geriatrics. Many of our physicians are Fellows of the American College of Physicians and several serve as governor of the American College of Physicians.

As Internal Medicine physicians, we provide you with your annual wellness exam, screen for diseases such as breast, prostate and colon cancer, as well as determine your risk for cardiovascular disease. In addition to treatment of acute illnesses such as the flu, we also manage chronic illnesses like asthma, high blood pressure, and elevated cholesterol.

Your Appointment – On your first visit, we will begin a permanent record. Please bring any medications you are taking, so that we may accurately determine the dosage and frequency. We will ask you to complete a medical history and registration form. Please bring your insurance card and try to arrive at least thirty minutes early for your first visit. If you have been under the care of another doctor, we may ask your permission to transfer some of your records.

Making Appointments – We have three appointment categories that take up varying amounts of time:
• Annual Exams or New Patient Visits – Plan on spending one hour including check-in time, filling out forms, and the actual physician visit
• Follow-up Exams – Thirty minutes
• Sick Visits – Varies depending on the illness, but plan on at least thirty minutes

Canceling an Appointment – Our appointments are confirmed by an automated service. Please listen carefully and follow the prompts to either confirm or cancel your appointment. If you later decide that you are unable to keep your appointment or you are going to be late, please call your physician’s office as soon as possible. This courtesy allows us to be of service to other patients.

Emergency Care – If you have an urgent problem, you may call your physician’s office to schedule an appointment. However, if you feel it is a true emergency it is best to go to the Emergency Department where the physician on duty will begin treatment and then call your primary physician.

Prescription Refills – Our preferred method for refilling prescriptions is to have your pharmacist call your physician’s office with your name and the prescription you need refilled. Because we do not have access to your medical records at night or on weekends, we are unable to refill prescriptions during those times.

Confidentiality - At MedProvider we have a strict patient confidentiality policy. Your medical record is strictly private and will not be shared with your employer, friends, or relatives without your written permission.
