Currently all appointments are scheduled by calling our clinic and speaking live with one of our employees. We prefer the personal touch of actually calling our office and talking with a live person who will get to know you and understand your medical needs. Also, if necessary directly communicate with the medical provider to ensure that you receive a timely office appointment. Often, we can accommodate same-day appointments for most patient needs. We prefer not to use a central scheduling department that is off-site and has no knowledge of you as an individual and your medical needs. Chronic care visits are often scheduled within 1 to 2 weeks, acute care visits are same-day or next day. Hospital follow-ups are scheduled within 5-10 business days.
Please call 911 if this is an emergency situation.

At Northern Lights Family Medicine, we prioritize providing personalized and seamless care for all our patients. Here's everything you need to know about connecting with us:
​
What to Bring to Your First Appointment
Please bring an up-to-date photo ID and your current insurance card to your first visit. We also ask that you arrive 15 minutes early to complete new patient paperwork, including HIPAA forms, consent to treat, and billing agreements.
​
Future Online Services
Starting January 2025, we will enhance convenience by offering many of our services online through the Athena Patient Portal. This secure platform allows patients to send and receive HIPAA-compliant information, access medical records, and communicate with our staff and providers from the comfort of home.
​
Scheduling Appointments
We believe in the personal touch of speaking directly with you to schedule your appointments. Please call our clinic to talk with a team member who will take the time to understand your medical needs and ensure you’re scheduled appropriately. Our staff can also consult directly with medical providers, if necessary, to address urgent concerns.
