What are the clinic hours?
Clinic Hours: Mon-Fri: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
How can I get same-day care?
Appointments with your primary care provider are based on first availability. Mayo Clinic Health System offers Express Care for same-day care of common health concerns. When you need same-day care for symptoms that cannot be treated through Express Care, call your local clinic’s appointment line to request a same-day appointment with Primary Care.
Is Check Symptoms available?
Check Symptoms is a free online symptom evaluation tool available 24/7/365. It can give you peace of mind when symptoms start to worry you.
What is Medicare annual wellness visit?
If you're a Medicare recipient, you're eligible to take advantage of annual wellness visits. During this free preventive visit, you'll meet with a registered nurse to develop or update your personalized prevention plan based on your current health and risk factors. It's not a physical exam and does not replace an annual physical exam with your primary care provider.
How do I schedule a Medicare annual wellness visit?
Call your primary care provider's office and ask to schedule your Medicare annual wellness visit.
