Relationship

At the heart of the Encina Practice is the one-to-one relationship that you share with your chosen physician. The Encina Practice provides direct telephone or electronic access to an Encina Practice physician (usually your own), 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This expanded access enables the kind of clear, open communication that can help you to maintain your health while cultivating the bond of trust so essential to the doctor-patient relationship.

To enhance your relationship with your physician, the Encina Practice is supported by the considerable resources of PAMF, including subspecialty consultation, diagnostic and therapeutic tools, and the electronic medical record. The Encina Practice provides a team of health professionals who are dedicated to your individual health care concerns. This support staff will be available to help you navigate the health care system smoothly, whether you need to schedule appointments, review billing, or complete insurance paperwork. If you need an appointment with an Encina Practice physician, just ask and you'll be scheduled to see the doctor right away.
