New patients

You are seen within five business days of asking. Here is how to get started and what to bring.

How it works

  2. 2Request an appointmentTell us the clinic and a day that suit. It takes about a minute.Request an appointment
  3. 3We call youWithin one business day, to confirm a time and answer any questions.
  4. 4Come inArrive 15 minutes early for your first visit, so we can set up your record.

What to bring

  • Your insurance card, if you have one, and a photo ID.

  • A list of the medicines you take, with doses. The bottles themselves are fine.

  • The name of your last doctor, so we can ask for your records.

  • For a child, their immunization record.

If you have no insurance, come anyway. We have sliding-scale fees and can help you apply for the Oregon Health Plan.

Questions new patients ask

Do I need a referral?

Not for family medicine, pediatrics, women’s health or walk-in care. Some insurance plans ask for a referral from your own doctor before you see a specialist; your Wrenfield doctor can make one the same day.

Can I keep the same doctor?

Yes. You choose one doctor, nurse practitioner or physician assistant and see them every visit. If they are away, you see a colleague at the same clinic who has your record.

What if I need to be seen today?

Albany, Salem and Eugene take walk-ins until 7 pm on weekdays, whether or not you are a patient yet. For anything life-threatening, call 911.

How do I move my records to Wrenfield?

Tell us your last doctor’s name at your first visit and sign a release. We ask for the records ourselves; it usually takes one to two weeks.
