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.
