Do I need a referral to be seen at Almira Medical?
No physician referral is required to be seen at Almira Medical. Simply contact us directly if you are interested in learning more.
Is Almira Medical a replacement for my family physician?
No, Almira Medical complements, rather than replaces, traditional family practice by emphasizing preventative and lifestyle measures in disease prevention. As an internal medicine specialist, Dr. Finlay focuses on certain aspects of care and may refer patients to external specialists for concerns such as mental health, musculoskeletal, obstetrical and gynecologic, or surgical issues. If any legitimate health concerns arise during your assessment, Dr. Finlay will either facilitate a referral or provide guidance on seeking appropriate care.
Can I visit the clinic before committing to a treatment plan?
Absolutely! We understand that choosing the right clinic is a big decision. We invite you to tour our office, meet our team, and connect with Dr. Finlay before making any commitments. This gives you a chance to experience our space, ask any questions, and feel confident in your decision. Schedule your consultation today!
What should I wear to my first visit?
We recommend wearing comfortable exercise clothing and running shoes to facilitate physical and exercise-based assessments.
Do I need to have all the components of the assessment?
No, all individual components of the assessment are optional and can be purchased separately. Please contact us for pricing details if you are only interested in a specific part of the plan.
Will all my results be available on the same day as my initial visit?
Most in-house preventative testing results will be available immediately for discussion. However, specialized blood tests may take up to two weeks. A short follow-up visit is recommended to review final results.
Does Almira Medical provide urgent or out-of-hours support?
Dr. Finlay reserves a portion of daily appointment slots for urgent issues that can be addressed by an internal medicine specialist. However, out-of-hours support is not guaranteed.
