If your appointment involves special services such as an insurance physical, a Workforce Safety and Insurance (WSI) examination, Veteran's Administration examination, services provided through Social Services or the Public Health Service, please inform the receptionist so that these services can be properly arranged.
If you have been referred to the clinic by another doctor, please let us know so that we may keep the referring doctor informed.
