Become a patient

We are delighted that you are interested in becoming a patient of Parker Internal Medicine.

Please follow these steps to initiate the process:

1. Call us at 704-384-1605 to set an appointment. Let us know of active problems that will require attention at the time of the visit (such as hypertension, diabetes, thyroid disease) or whether you just need to have a visit to establish a relationship. This will help us to budget your time appropriately so that we do not have to rush through active problems.

2. If you have a significant medical history, contact your prior-treating physician prior to your appointment so that you can authorize him to advance your records to our office before your appointment. You can download a records release form and advance that to him well before your appointment. This will allow me to have access to important information prior to or at the time of your appointment that may affect the decisions that we make at the initial visit.

3. At the time of your appointment, please bring all of your medications, a list of your allergies, insurance information and the copayment amount. Download and complete the medical history questionnaire available on our site and bring it with you to the initial appointment.

4. You can download the registration form from our site, complete it before your appointment and bring it with you.

5. Show up for your appointment a few minutes early. We are working diligently to stay on time since so many of our patients operate on a tight schedule with business and family responsibilities. Check out our location.

6. If you are unable to make your appointment please notify us at least 24 hours in advance. Repeated cancellations or failures to show up for appointments make it difficult for us to provide excellent service.

7. Let us know what we can do to improve our service.

8. Plan on taking advantage of all the technological advances that are changing the way medicine is practiced. Click her to learn about our unique Patient Portal.

9. Take an active role in your health by getting informed and making decisions that preserve your good health - it doesn't last forever.
