We offer a 10 minute grace period. If you expect to be later than this, please contact our office for options. Please arrive 20 minutes early for your visit if possible to allow time for the registration process.

You will need to provide us with an email address. We will then provide you a link that will allow you to complete registration.

Visit our website and click the “Patient Portal” in the top right hand side of screen. Please note that you must first be registered for the portal via an email link.

We accept the following proof of income documents:

• Pay stub(s) from the last four weeks

At least yearly, or when your household size or income changes.

Please contact us, and we will help you decide which documents you need for the visit.
