Your primary care physician (PCP) is your partner for health and your partner through the health care system. He or she will educate, advise and guide you with all of your health care needs. Your PCP can be an Internal Medicine Doctor or a Nurse Practitioner who focuses on primary care. Having a PCP is important because he or she can determine when you need to see a specialist, help you find the right specialist, and coordinate all of your care. Many healthcare insurers require a referral from your PCP before you can see a specialist.

If you are a new patient, please call 252-830-9001 to schedule your first appointment or use our contact form on the website.  Current patients have the additional option of requesting an appointment through the portal.

Please arrive early to register, complete paperwork and have an opportunity to relax before your appointment.

If you must cancel your appointment, we’ll be happy to reschedule you at a more convenient time. We ask you to give 24 hours advance notice in order to provide an opportunity for another patient to be seen.  Please utilize the portal or call the office at (252)830-9001 to leave a voicemail.
