Scheduling Appointments

We are committed to offering you an appointment with your personal physician on the day of your choice whenever possible. You may also choose to schedule an appointment for a later date if it is more convenient for you. There are several ways you can help us meet your appointment needs:

New patients should arrive 15 minutes prior to their first scheduled appointment in order to allow time for our staff to obtain necessary personal and insurance information.

Please bring your health insurance card with you for every visit.

It is important to inform the registration staff of changes in name, address, phone number or insurance.

Call early in the day: If you would like a same-day appointment we will be better able to meet your needs.

Request an appointment for early in the day: Our greatest demand for urgent appointments tends to come later in the day. If you can schedule non-urgent appointments for the morning or early afternoon, it will be easier for us to accommodate you.

Bring current medications to each visit. Please bring any medication that you are currently taking so that the doctor can have a complete understanding of your medical needs.

Schedule non-urgent appointments on a day other than Monday: Mondays are generally our busiest day.

Schedule your visits with your primary care physician (PCP): Whenever possible please schedule your visits with your primary care physician. Receiving your care from a physician who knows you and your health care concerns will provide you with the best health care possible.

Please bring all of your prescription medications to each appointment, or bring a list of their names, doses and how often you take them. Please include over-the-counter and alternative or complementary medicines, herbs and supplements.

Urgent Needs

Special Information for Our Patients with HMO or PPO Insurance

Since you have chosen PAMF as your primary medical group (thank you!), you are required by your medical insurance to obtain all needed care through us. If we are unable to provide care that you need at PAMF, your physician here can request authorization for care from outside providers. Such care must be authorized in advance and in writing by our PAMF Utilization Management department. Your physician will submit this request, and then you will receive an answer on your approval status.

Communicate with Us Electronically through PAMFOnline

We invite you to sign up for PAMFOnline, our secure and private electronic tool, so that you may view key components of your medical record and communicate with us through e-mail. Some services are free for all our patients; other services require a modest annual fee. Visit our Web site at PAMFOnline.org to sign up for this service or discuss with your provider.

Thank you for choosing to obtain your health and medical care through the Redwood Shores Health Center of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. We look forward to working with you to maintain and improve your health.
