Patients may not always be called in the order they arrive. This is because certain medical conditions require a faster response than others, and some patients may only need to see the nurse, or get an x-ray or lab work. Also, some treatments may require waiting on an exam room that has special equipment.
FAQ
A nurse will take you to an exam room and take your temperature and other vital signs such as blood pressure, pulse, respirations and height and weight, if needed. The nurse will also ask basic health questions such as if you have any allergies and what medications you are taking.

If an x-ray is needed, a team member will come to your exam room. If there is any possibility that you could be pregnant, it is important that you inform the team member. After explaining what x-ray you will have, you will be escorted to the x-ray room. For the x-ray, you need to remove any jewelry, or clothing that may interfere. A private area is provided for you to remove any clothing, if necessary. After the x-ray is taken, you can redress. After the provider reviews the x-ray, he or she will share the findings with you in the exam room.

We see patients on a walk-in basis to treat urgent, non-life-threatening medical needs. We will always try to minimize your wait; however, longer wait times may occur on or around certain holidays, during flu season, and other tadalafil peak times. To save time with paperwork, you can also pre-register online. The length of time your visit takes depends on other patients who are there at the same time, as well as the complexity of your health issue. Any lab work or test needed will take additional time.
