Frequently asked questions

We ask patients to arrive 20 minutes prior to their appointment time. This allows enough time to complete the necessary paperwork and make any copayments if needed.

If you need to cancel an appointment, please contact the office as soon as possible. By doing so, we can then offer this appointment to another patient. If you arrive more than 10 minutes after your scheduled appointment time, we may ask to reschedule your appointment. We will make every effort to have you seen on the same day, but this may not be possible.

When our office is closed, a designated provider is on-call to answer your questions and guide you to appropriate care. If your problem is not life-threatening, call our office at 603-526-2911.

If you have a life-threatening emergency please call 911 right away.

Most health plans require your primary care provider to refer you to specialists or facilities for certain services within your network. To avoid having your insurance company deny benefits, call our office before obtaining medical care elsewhere unless you believe you have a life-threatening emergency.

When you need a referral, allow 7 to 10 business days for us to process the necessary paperwork. You should check with your insurance company to determine your benefits. Even if you have a referral, payment is not guaranteed.

So that we can help you best, you should address your prescription refills at the time of your visit with your provider. You can plan any necessary changes in your medication or schedule any testing you may need. We do understand that sometimes this is not possible.

Please call your pharmacy for routine prescription refills. We process routine refill requests Monday through Friday. Please allow 72 hours or 3 business days for processing. Our office will only call you back about your prescription renewal if you:

  • Have completely run out of your medication
  • Need to see your provider prior to renewing the prescription
