Schedule an Appointment at the Center for Women's Health

Please call your doctor's office or the clinic as far in advance as possible to schedule your appointments. This will make it easier to choose times that are most convenient for you.

Be sure to register after you have scheduled your first appointment. Registration helps each clinic correctly identify you and your medical information.

If your health plan restricts the clinics you can use, be sure your plan has approved the healthcare you are requesting. This will help you avoid unexpected fees.

Checklist of information you will need when making an appointment

We will ask you for the following information:

Your name

Your date of birth or Social Security number (this helps ensure that your medical information is not confused with someone who has a similar name)

Reasons for the appointment (be as specific as possible so that we can reserve the right amount of time for your visit)

Whether you want a particular doctor or the first available appointment

Canceling an appointment

If you cannot keep your appointment, please call your doctor's office or clinic as soon as possible or no later than the day before. We realize that sometimes emergencies come up and your plans may change. However, giving us as much notice as possible helps us better serve you and our other patients.
