Scheduling a Wellness Visit with a Nurse Practitioner

Nursing taking a patient's BP.

We are inviting our patients who don’t have a primary care provider (PCP), or who haven’t seen their PCP in over a year, to participate in this new program, which involves seeing a Nurse Practitioner for a wellness visit on the same day as your dental visit. The wellness visit can identify health risks and help you to reduce them.

What to Expect at Your Visit

At your visit, our healthcare team will take a complete health history and can provide several other services:

  • Screen for depression, risk for falling, and other problems.
  • Provide a limited physical exam to check blood pressure, weight, vision, and other things depending on your age, gender, and level of activity.
  • Offer recommendations for other wellness services and healthy lifestyle changes.
  • Help you find a primary care provider if you don’t have one.
