A comprehensive Family Medicine clinic in Cold Spring, MN
A solo physician in a world of increasingly corporate medicine is certain to raise eyebrows. It’s not that we don’t know how to ‘play in the sandbox’ with others. We simply feel that a small practice affords more opportunities to devote attention to the provider-patient relationship, which serves as the foundation for family medicine. Below are three core values that shape our practice.
On Time
Your time is valuable. Waiting for an appointment is unacceptable. Given our small clinic we have the luxury of 30 minute minimum appointments. This translates into adequate time for your visit without cutting into the next patient’s time. We refer to the reception area as the “No-waiting Room”.
Accessible
You don’t access your bank account in the same fashion that you did 20 years ago. Medicine should be just as user friendly. Unfettered access to your provider, access not constrained by the many layers of a traditional clinic, allows for expanded opportunities in health care. Some call it concierge care. We call it good medicine. As a patient-centered medical home, we offer the following:
• Same-day appointments • On-line scheduling
• 24-hour cell phone access • Home visits
Up-to-Date
Marcus Welby had it easy. Modern medicine is increasingly complex. Using electronic resources, we are able to better assist you in making appropriate health care decisions.
Embracing technology promotes safety in health care. Our secure electronic medical record (EMR) allows us to prescribe electronically, provide you with an electronic copy of your health record, and gives you 24/7 electronic access to your chart . It also allows you to be engaged in your health care-even when not at the office. Through a secure patient portal you can access your health records, communicate with us electronically, and even schedule an appointment.
