In an effort to decrease wait times for students, Health Services will begin offering same-day, call-ahead appointments as an alternative to walk-ins
When students call ahead, instead of receiving an estimated wait time, patients will be given a specific appointment time slot. This will reduce the time patients must wait in the waiting room prior to being seen by a provider. Patients can choose to arrive at Health Services shortly prior to their appointment time. Walk-in wait times are often not predictable. If students walk in to Health Services, they will be given the next available appointment time. Walk-in patients can leave and return prior to their scheduled appointment time, or wait in the waiting room until their appointment. Patients are urged to call as soon as possible as same-day appointments may be filled.
If an appointment is not available on the same day, every effort will be made to accommodate the patient on the next day. Student Health Services will continue to offer advance appointment time slots for physicals, preventative care, and follow-up appointments. Patients scheduling same day appointments should understand that acute injuries and illnesses may be prioritized and some delays are possible.
If you have questions, please call Health Services at (336) 278-7230.
