New Patient Phone Visit

Thank you for scheduling a New Patient Phone Visit with Dr. Aimée!

**Please review the 48 hour cancellation policy at the bottom of this email**

Dr. Aimée will call you as soon as she finishes with her previous patient. While she tries her best to stay on time, she may run 5-15 minutes late, especially if your appointment is at the end of the day.

When you schedule your appointment, you will receive an invitation to our patient portal. The portal will provide easy access for you to see your visit summaries and treatment recommendations, maintain up to date medication and supplement lists, and upload labs from other doctors. It’s also where you can communicate with Dr. Aimée and the front desk via secure messages.

THREE THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT:

1)   Log in to the portal prior to your visit and fill out the following questionnaires:
