New appointments
In order to expedite your check-in and minimize wait times, we ask that you complete our registration packet prior to the date of your scheduled appointment.   Click this link to download  our New Patient Packet,    If you are unable to complete  our New Patient Packet prior to your appointment please arrive at least 30 minutes early to your scheduled appointment time so you can complete package before visit.

Please bring the following items with you to your appointment:

If studies are completed any other facility besides a Sutter Solano, Sutter Regional Facilities, Solano Diagnostics, NorthBay, or Radnet (Vacaville Imaging and Vallejo Open MRI), please bring a copy of films and report.
• Please call our office if your studies are older than 6 months as we may need to order new studies prior to your appointment.

Waiting Times
We strive to minimize wait times, however, we are not always able to anticipate all of our patients needs. There may be times when a wait is involved. We ask for your patience with us during these times, and please remember that we will spend as much time with you as needed. In addition, we will make every effort to inform you of potential delays in your appointment time.

Appointment Cancellations and Rescheduling
We request that appointments be cancelled in advance as a courtesy to our providers and the other patients. When an emergency arises, we will attempt to reschedule you as soon as possible. Please be advised, per our financial policy (available in our patient forms link above) if less than one business day notice, a $25 fee will be assessed.

Medication Refills
Please do not call our office for refills. Refills of all medications are received by fax only from the Pharmacy. Please ensure your requests are received before 3pm the day prior to refill day. Refills may not be made after business hours, or on weekends. This is designed to prevent medication errors and allow for proper documentation of medications.

In the event of an emergency when the clinic is closed, please call the answering service at 707-455-3504. The answering service will notify the provider on call to contact you.
