New Patient Visits

New patients are an important part of our practice. Our physicians welcome new patients by self-referral or referrals from other physicians outside the Medical Center.

If you are a new patient and would like to schedule an appointment, we can assist you in selecting a Primary Care Physician for you and your family — or a specialist, if you have a specific health problem.

Please call our main office number at 620-669-6690 or 800-794-3085 and inform the operator that you are a new patient and would like to schedule an appointment. She will transfer your call to the appropriate person to help you schedule your appointment. For our Sterling office call 620-278-2123 or 800-260-9508.

Appointment availability depends on the nature and urgency of the medical problem. Appointments for urgent health needs are scheduled promptly, often for the same day.

Prior to your first appointment, we will need to complete a Patient Registration Summary. We may do this over the phone or in person when you arrive for your appointment. You may print this form from this website and bring the completed form with you. This information is used to establish a patient record with information for contacting you regarding your appointment, sending test results, or contacting a family member in case of an emergency. We also use this information to submit the fees for the services you received to your health insurance company.


For Your First Visit:

  • Arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment. In some cases the receptionist may ask you to arrive 30 minutes prior to your appointment.

  • Be prepared to provide information regarding your medical history.

  • Bring all your current medications with you.

  • Before receiving services, please verify that we are participating providers with your insurance company.

  • Be prepared to provide billing information and bring your insurance card with you.

  • Be prepared to pay your co-payment if your insurance plan requires one.

  • You may be asked to have copies of your medical record from your previous physician sent to the Medical Center. You will need to sign a Release Authorization form.

  • You will be asked to review our HIPAA Privacy Policy and sign an acknowledgment form. You can see the Privacy Policy on this Website. You may also sign a Person Involved in My Care form.


    Thank you for choosing the Medical Center and placing your trust in the care of our physicians and staff!
