My First Appointment
Our goal is to help you build a healthy family as efficiently as possible while taking into consideration your personal needs and situation.
If you have medical records that are pertinent to your appointment we ask that those records be sent to our office prior to your appointment. After you have met with our physicians they may ask you to obtain additional records, our office will help you in doing so.
What to expect on your initial appointment
On your first visit to our clinic you can expect to visit with the doctor so that he may review your medical records and personal medical history and answer any questions. If it is the appropriate time of your cycle, he may perform a physical exam and ultrasound. The doctor will then order any testing and outline possible treatment options.
