More importantly, the quality of the care provided still ranks among the best in the nation, and we now have improved access to care. No longer do you spend a morning or afternoon at the clinic waiting to see the physician. Unless there is an emergency involving your provider, you are seen within 30 minutes of your appointment. Appointments are scheduled the same day for an urgent problem, within seven days for a routine problem and within 30 days for specialty referral or health maintenance exams. Whether you are a provider or a patient, this is the standard.
