Geriatric Medicine

Primary care providers or physicians are your partners in all aspects of health, including mental health, physical health, and emotional health. Through each phase of your life, look to your primary care provider, your go-to for medical questions, treatment, and specialist referral.

You should expect a long-term relationship that includes trust, treatment, and accessibility.

Having a primary care provider is essential to your health. Primary care providers will guide you in making the best, informed healthcare decisions. They learn everything about you – your medical history and your family medical history and start treatment from there.

Your TPMG primary care provider knows you and your medical history and will help you choose the best provider out there for your individual needs.

• A family medicine physician treats children and adults.
• An internal medicine physician treats adults.
• A geriatric medicine physician treats the elderly.

To contact your primary care provider, please contact your primary care office or sign up for our patient portal where you can receive the answers to all of your medical questions.

While many of our primary care practices are accepting new patients, some are not. Please contact your future primary care office’s webpage to determine if the practice is accepting new patients or utilize the “Find A Provider” toolbar, select the “Primary Care” specialty, and click the box marked “Accepting New Patients” to find a primary care provider nearest you.

Though TPMG contracts with various insurance carriers, not all TPMG providers actively participate in our carrier plans. To avoid unexpected or additional out-of-pocket expenses, contact your provider’s office to verify that he/she participates with your insurance plan.

If you do not have insurance, please contact your physician’s office to learn about your payment options.

New patients, and patients who have not been to our practice within the past year, are requested to arrive 15-20 minutes early to complete the registration process. For your convenience, registration forms can be printed and completed before your appointment by visiting your office’s webpage on our website. Before your initial appointment, be sure to contact your previous primary care physician or specialist to request that your medical records be sent to us.

New Patients:

• All medications you are currently taking (include prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal remedies)
• Your current health insurance card
• Photo identification
• A referral from your primary care physician, if required by your insurance plan
• A list of allergies to medications or dyes
• Immunization record for children
• Payment for any required co-pays, deductibles, or non-covered services
