Your First Visit to Polaris Family Medicine

We look forward to seeing you at your appointment with Polaris Family Medicine. Whether you're returning to see Leigh and Annie again or discovering our practice for the first time, we'll treat your initial visit as a new patient appointment to ensure your records are set up correctly and establish a vital foundation for our ongoing relationship with you. During your first visit, we make sure to obtain important background information about your medical history and give you time to get to know your provider. To help you prepare and understand what to expect, please review the information below and complete the following checklist prior to your appointment.
