We want your first appointment to go smoothly. Here's everything you need to know — what to bring, what to expect, and how insurance works.
Bring these items so we can get you started right away
Driver's license, state ID, or passport. Must match the name on your insurance.
Front and back. We'll scan both sides. No insurance? We offer self-pay and sliding scale options.
Cash, check, or credit card accepted. We collect copays at check-in per our insurance agreements.
All prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and supplements — including dosages.
Recent lab results, imaging, hospital discharge summaries, or records from a previous provider.
Known allergies to medications, foods, or environmental triggers.
Especially Hepatitis B, Tetanus/TDaP, Pneumonia, Flu, and COVID-19 vaccination history.
Major conditions in parents or siblings — heart disease, diabetes, cancer, stroke, mental illness, etc.
Complete these before your visit to save time — or arrive 15 minutes early to fill them out in the office.
Name, contact info, emergency contact, pharmacy, and basic demographics.
Current conditions, past surgeries, family history, habits, and health screenings. This helps Sidney tailor your care from day one.
Standard consent authorizing examinations, diagnostic tests, and care. You always have the right to ask questions and refuse treatment.
Acknowledgement that your health information is protected under HIPAA. We'll explain your rights and how your information is used.
Allows us to request records from previous providers or coordinate care with specialists. You control exactly what we share and with whom.
Our policy for cancellations and no-shows. We ask for 24 hours' notice if you need to reschedule.
Here's how your visit will go so there are no surprises
Our front desk will verify your ID, scan your insurance card, collect your copay, and confirm your contact information.
A team member will take your vitals — blood pressure, heart rate, weight, temperature. You'll have a brief intake conversation.
Sidney Sparks, FNP, conducts a thorough evaluation. For primary care, this is a standard new patient visit. For addiction treatment, it's a full clinical assessment.
You'll leave with a clear plan — whether that's primary care follow-ups, lab orders, prescriptions, or the start of your recovery program.
We check your insurance coverage before your visit so you know exactly what to expect — no billing surprises.
We need to scan the front and back of your insurance card. Make sure the card you bring matches your legal name.
We offer self-pay rates and sliding scale options based on income. Cost should never stop you from getting care.
Everything discussed in our clinic stays between you and your provider. Your records are protected under the strongest federal privacy laws available.
