Our front desk staff will ask you to fill out new patient registration forms. We ask that new patients arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled appointment time to complete the paperwork. These forms may also be accessed on our website at brookwoodfp.com under “New Patient Forms”.
If for any reason you are unable to keep your appointment, please notify our office as soon as possible. This allows our office to schedule another patient who is also in need of medical care. As stated in our policy, there will be a $25.00 charge for the next missed appointment not cancelled prior to the scheduled time of your visit. Our practice is committed to providing the best treatment to our patients. Please help us serve you better by keeping your regularly scheduled appointment.
Please bring a current ID (valid driver’s license) and your insurance card. If your insurance requires a co-pay, deductible, or co-insurance, please be prepared to pay that at the time of your visit.

If you have refills remaining on your prescription, request the refill through your pharmacy. Once requested, the provider will review your medical record before prescribing or refilling the medication. Some medications require routine follow-up and you will need to schedule an office visit.
