Welcome to Stella Primary Care

We are pleased to welcome you to our practice. We are committed to providing the best health care available to patients of all ages.

Appointments

At Stella Primary Care, we aim to provide the most effective and efficient care that we possibly can. As part of achieving this goal we kindly ask that you inform us of the exact nature of your visit (issues may be limited to no more than 2), reschedule your appointment if you are more than 10 minutes late, and have patients under the age of 18 be accompanied by a parent or guardian. We thank you in advance for helping us continue to provide the smooth and reliable care experience that our patients trust.

Billing and Fees

Our goal to be effective and efficient in everything we do drives the way we address the billing and fees associated with our great care. In order to avoid billing issues and extended wait times, we require that well visits and sick visits get scheduled separately. Additionally, we request that you cancel your appointment at least 24 hours in advance so that we can maintain a smooth schedule. A 24 hour cancellation policy is in effect and a fee will be assessed for any "no show" or cancellation.

Medication Policies and Information

In our efforts to minimize last minute refill requests and increase medication compliance, we have developed policies that will apply to chronic or routine daily medications such as blood pressure, birth control, and psychiatric medication. Our medication policies are as follows:

1. Refills of chronic medications will only be given during office visits
2. Prescriptions for medications will no longer be mailed. All printed medications must be picked up from the office during business hours.
3. 30 day faxes are never accepted from pharmacies. When it is time to refill your medication(s), please call the office yourself to notify the physician of your request.
