Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a wellness visit and a sick visit?
Wellness visits are preventive—you come when you're healthy for screening and counseling. Sick visits address specific symptoms or concerns that have arisen.
How long does a wellness visit take?
Plan for 45 minutes to an hour. This allows time for a thorough exam, lab results discussion, and personalized health planning.
Can I discuss multiple health concerns at my wellness visit?
Absolutely. Your annual visit is a great time to address any questions or concerns about your reproductive or general health.
Do I need to fast before my wellness visit?
Not usually, unless your provider recommends lab work that requires fasting. We'll let you know if any preparation is needed.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring your insurance card, photo ID, and a list of current medications. If you're a new patient, arrive 10 minutes early for check-in.
