Patients Info - First Appointment

When you make an appointment, explain what your needs are so our staff can schedule an appointment of the appropriate length of time and with the appropriate provider. If you would like to request or change your primary care provider, we’ll do our best to meet your needs.

If you think you will be unable to make your appointment, then please call us immediately if you are unable to keep an appointment.

Our reception staff will ask you to fill out registration and health history forms. We ask that new patients arrive 30 minutes before scheduled appointment time to complete paperwork. These forms may be accessed on our website at www.norfolkmedicalgroup.com

Please bring all medications you are currently taking and your insurance card or copy of your card. We do not take digital copies of insurance cards, ie cannot be a picture on your cell phone. If your insurance requires a co-pay or deductible, please be prepared to pay that at the time of your visit. In addition, it is helpful to write down a list of questions for your provider so that we can ensure that we answer all of questions in the exam room.
