New patient appointments are scheduled as longer visits, to provide you with the necessary time to become established as a patient and meet your new care team. Failing to show up for, or failing to reschedule, your initial new patient appointment may disqualify you from becoming a patient with our practice.<\/p>\n<p>To provide you with an exceptional care experience on your first visit, we ask you to arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment. Arriving early will ensure your registration is complete before meeting with your new provider. Please be advised that if you arrive late for your appointment, every effort will be made to see you that same day, however it&#8217;s possible your appointment may need to be rescheduled for another day.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-94396896ac1ce4be9\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-94396896ac1ce4be9 uvc-2072 \" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-94396896ac1ce4be9 h3'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}' ><h3 style=\"font-weight:normal;\">Important Step!<\/h3><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-6896ac1ce4c39\" data-id=\"6896ac1ce4c39\" data-height=\"10\" data-height-mobile=\"10\" data-height-tab=\"10\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[vc_column_text]Either the online\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>or<\/strong><\/span> the PDF form (below) must be completed by all new patients to request your first appointment.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"uavc-list-icon uavc-list-icon-wrapper ult-adjust-bottom-margin   \"><ul class=\"uavc-list\"><li><div class=\"uavc-list-content\" id=\"list-icon-wrap-9242\">\n<div class=\"uavc-list-icon  \" data-animation=\"\" data-animation-delay=\"03\" style=\"margin-right:8px;\"><div class=\"ult-just-icon-wrapper  \"><div class=\"align-icon\" style=\"text-align:center;\">\n<div class=\"aio-icon none \"  style=\"color:#fcbe7c;font-size:18px;display:inline-block;\">\n\t<i class=\"Defaults-share-square-o\"><\/i>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><span  data-ultimate-target='#list-icon-wrap-9242 .uavc-list-desc'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"uavc-list-desc ult-responsive\" style=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/z3-rpw.phreesia.net\/ApptRequestForm.App\/#\/form\/b8d2a01f-803e-4d14-ad8b-0cbc2cb2880b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WFPC New Patient Intake Form (Submit Online)<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"uavc-list-content\" id=\"list-icon-wrap-5583\">\n<div class=\"uavc-list-icon  \" data-animation=\"\" data-animation-delay=\"03\" style=\"margin-right:8px;\"><div class=\"ult-just-icon-wrapper  \"><div class=\"align-icon\" style=\"text-align:center;\">\n<div class=\"aio-icon none \"  style=\"color:#fcbe7c;font-size:18px;display:inline-block;\">\n\t<i class=\"Defaults-print\"><\/i>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><span  data-ultimate-target='#list-icon-wrap-5583 .uavc-list-desc'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"uavc-list-desc ult-responsive\" style=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/westfrontprimarycare.com\/new2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WFPC-New-Patient-Intake-Form-June2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WFPC New Patient Intake Form (PDF)<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"uavc-list-content\" id=\"list-icon-wrap-8456\">\n<div class=\"uavc-list-icon  \" data-animation=\"\" data-animation-delay=\"03\" style=\"margin-right:8px;\"><div class=\"ult-just-icon-wrapper  \"><div class=\"align-icon\" style=\"text-align:center;\">\n<div class=\"aio-icon none \"  style=\"color:#fcbe7c;font-size:18px;display:inline-block;\">\n\t<i class=\"Defaults-copy files-o\"><\/i>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><span  data-ultimate-target='#list-icon-wrap-8456 .uavc-list-desc'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"uavc-list-desc ult-responsive\" style=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/westfrontprimarycare.com\/new2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Med-Record-Release-blank-2022_11-v2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WFPC Medical Record Release Form (PDF)<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>[vc_column_text]Once you have submitted your application online, please allow us\u00a0<b>24 to 72 hours to process your application.<\/b> Being accepted by a provider may take up to one week depending on banking holidays and weekend schedules. <strong>Once you have been approved, you will receive an email that you have been accepted.
