Patient Info

 

 

 

Be sure to arrive early. The clinic opens at 5:30 AM, and patients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis. Once registered, be prepared for long waits before being seen by a doctor. Bring a list of any medications you are taking and bring with you any medications you will need to take while at the clinic. Also, come prepared for the weather (umbrellas, jackets, sunscreen, etc)- expect cool mornings/evenings and hot, sunny days, as well as the possibility of rain.
