Appointment preparation
Before booking annual wellness visits
You can make your visit go smoothly by jotting down the main reason you're coming in, your current medications, allergies, pharmacy, insurance plan, recent records, and any questions on your mind. If your visit follows recent urgent care, a hospital stay, specialist care, labs, imaging, or a medication change, bring those details along if you have them.
If you're traveling in from Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, Dewey-Humboldt, or another nearby Yavapai County community, it helps to double-check directions, office hours, insurance details, and any forms before you head out.

Common questions
Common Questions About Annual Wellness Visits
Is an annual wellness visit the same as a sick visit?
No. An annual wellness visit is all about prevention, while a sick visit focuses on a current symptom or concern. If you have new symptoms, active illness, or a problem you want addressed, you may need a separate appointment depending on timing, visit type, documentation, and insurance rules.
Does an annual wellness visit include screening discussion?
Yes. We can talk through age-appropriate screenings, your health history, medications, risk factors, preventive goals, and follow-up planning. The visit is meant to organize your preventive care, not to replace evaluation of urgent symptoms or new medical problems.
What should I bring to an annual wellness visit?
Please bring your insurance information, a photo ID, current medications, any prior records you have, and any forms we have asked you to complete. It also helps to bring questions about screenings, preventive goals, recent care changes, home readings, and any updates from specialists or hospitals.
Should I mention new symptoms during a wellness visit?
Yes, please do mention any new symptoms or concerns. Active symptoms may need a separate problem-focused visit, and we will let you know if a different appointment is needed based on the concern, timing, documentation, insurance rules, and what is available.
