| Q |
What
happens if I need a same-day appointment?
|
| A |
When a person needs an urgent or same day
appointment the Patient Care Representative at the registration
desk will make every effort to schedule the patient with
their regular provider. Occassionally, it will not be
possible to see your regular provider in urgent or same

team. |
