What is a Primary Care Physician or why do I need to choose a Preferred Provider?
Although you are welcome to see any of our physicians or physician assistants, we ask that you designate a Preferred Provider. We are concerned about the whole range of our patient’s health, including but not limited to physical/ behavioral / mental health, and nutrition. We feel we are responsible for coordinating care across settings such as specialist and ancillary treatments.
Do you take walk-ins?
Yes, that if you feel you cannot wait to schedule an appointment you are welcome to just walk-in. Please understand that although we will make all attempts to work you in with your preferred physicians it is not a guarantee that you will see them. We will do everything possible to get you seen by a provider as soon as possible.
Do you do x-rays on site?
No, at this time we are unable to provide x-ray serves at any of our locations. This will change at our South Austin location in 2013, as we move in to our new medical village.
Do I need to tell you about my past medical history?
Yes, Premier Family Physicians feel that the best way to provide the best care possible we need to know as much as possible about your past medical history including medications, visits to specialist, health status; recent test results, self-care information, recent hospitalizations, specialty care or ER visits.
Are my records secure and confidential?
