** We ask that you bring the completed forms with you to your initial consultation with Dr. Johnell and the clinic nurse. As a courtesy to other scheduled patients, please be on time. If your forms are not completed before your arrival, or you are more than 15 minutes late, we may find it necessary to reschedule your appointment.
If you already have an appointment scheduled, we will give you a reminder call. Should you find that you are unable to keep your appointment, we request 24 hours notice so that we may try to schedule another patient in your place.
We look forward to working with you as you make this important step in improving your health and well-being!
Please feel free to call us if you have any questions!
