Appointment preparation
Before booking internal medicine
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 Internal Medicine
What does internal medicine cover at First Choice Medical Center?
Internal medicine at First Choice Medical Center covers adult care. Your visit may include prevention planning, chronic-condition follow-up, medication review, lab or record discussion, referrals, and care coordination when appropriate. What we focus on depends on your age, medical history, current concerns, and what we find when we review them together.
Can internal medicine visits include specialist referral discussion?
Yes, we are happy to talk through referral needs during an internal medicine visit. Whether a referral is the right step depends on your medical history, symptoms, exam needs, available records, and insurance requirements. Please bring any specialist notes, test results, referral forms, or plan requirements you have.
Is internal medicine only for older adults?
No. Internal medicine is for adult care, not just older adults. It may be a good fit if you have preventive needs, medication questions, chronic conditions, or follow-up planning. Give us a call and we can help you decide whether internal medicine or family medicine is the better path for you.
What records help with an internal medicine visit?
Bring anything that helps tell the story of your health. That might include a current medication list, recent labs, imaging reports, hospital records, specialist notes, home readings, and prior diagnosis information. If you do not have the records themselves, the names of past clinicians or facilities are still helpful.
