New Patients
We look forward to meeting with you.
Please arrive at least 30 min prior to your scheduled appointment time if you have not previously filled out your paper work and sent it in to us for review.
Please bring the following to your first appointment.
- A referral or authorization from your Primary Care Provider if your insurance requires one of these.
- New Patient Forms: Download and print our New Patient Form. También en español, aquí.
- Bring all medicines that you are taking.
- Bring other medical information such as x-ray films, test results, blood work and medical records from your previous healthcare providers.
Current Patients
Please arrive 20 min prior to your scheduled apt time to allow time for check in and preparation to be seen. If you arrive 10-15 min later than your scheduled appointment time we cannot guarantee that you will be seen that day. If we did this, it may cut short the appointment time available for another patient and that would not be fair. Good care takes time. We appreciate your consideration in this matter.
Diabetes Management
If you come to our office for diabetes management, please bring a log of your blood sugar readings to every appointment. Please feel free to download our Printable Blood Glucose Log.
Blood Work
After your initial consult, you will likely have blood work ordered to be done prior to your follow up visit. Please remember to get this done about 7-10 days prior to your upcoming appointment. If you have lost your order slip, please contact our office staff to request another copy.
Please note we discuss lab results at the appointment time.

Coastal Endocrinology has a 48-hour rescheduling/cancellation policy.
If you miss, cancel or reschedule your appointment with less than 48-hours notice, you will be charged $50.
It’s important to be able to tend to all our patients who need our care and attention. Out of respect to our physician and our patients, by giving last minute notice or no notice at all, you prevent another patient to see the doctor during that time slot.
We appreciate your cooperation. Please avoid this cancellation fee.
