How To Schedule An Appointment
We want to make your experience in our health centers as comfortable and convenient as possible. Therefore, we want you to have an appointment to be seen. Please call us to schedule an appointment. We cannot guarantee that you will be seen if you walk-in without an appointment.
To schedule an appointment call 530-887-2830 for Auburn or 530-477-9560 for Grass Valley.
We do reserve a few urgent appointments per day for patients who have severe pain, infection or swelling. The urgent problem is the only thing addressed at an urgent visit. Please call us to book an urgent appointment.
Preparing For Your Visit
All new patients must register before their first appointment, please see How to Register. New patients should arrive at the reception desk 30 minutes before your first appointment to complete the new patient registration process. Established patients should arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time.
You will need to bring the following items to all of your appointments:
- Photo ID
- All insurance cards (Medi-Cal, Medicare or other medical, prescription or dental insurance).
- A list of medication you are taking or bring the medications with you.
- The patient services representative making your appointment will also inform you of any records or information you need to bring with you.
Cancellation, Late & No-Show Information
If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment please call us. When patients do not cancel their appointment, they deny other patients the opportunity to book that visit. We keep track of the number of “no-show” appointments a patient accumulates and patients who repeatedly miss their appointments may lose the privilege of making appointments at our community health centers.
