"Windermere Medical Center has convenient scheduling around work hours. My experience has always been that they run pretty close to schedule and keep things moving. I have found Dr. Patel, ARNP's Stephanie, Nicole, Hector all to be very good, straight forward and I feel comfortable asking them questions. The added bonus of the walk in clinic and it's hours are wonderful. I was a little intimidated by all of the policies I signed off on when I first became a client a few years ago. I can now see they are all there to keep this good and busy practice functioning smoothly and are also enabling beneficial reminders that come prior to appointments."
Become a New Patient
We are currently accepting new patients into our practice. Thank you for considering us. To become a new patient:
- Make an Appointment
- Sign up for our patient portal
- Download your patient forms online through the patient portal
When you come to our office for the first time as a new patient, we’ll ask you to complete some initial forms, including an Authorization and Consent for Treatment form, if you were not able to download them from the patient portal in advance of your appointment.
To make sure there are no delays in care during your first visit experience, we require all our patients to complete the registration process prior to receiving an appointment. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time to make sure your registration is completed before meeting your new provider.
Remember to bring:
- Your insurance card
- Valid photo ID
- List of current medications
- Office co-pay/deductible
In an effort to respect the time of all of patients, our staff strives to stay on schedule so that other patients do not have to wait.
For patients who are delayed and arrive late for appointment, every effort will be made to see them the same day. However, wait times may apply, or appointments delayed greater than 20 minutes may need to be rescheduled.
