New Patients: Welcome to a Healthier You
You’re in good hands. Let’s get started.
If You
- Have been told by a doctor or nurse practitioner you need to lose weight,
- Have a chronic health condition such as diabetes, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, or hypertension, or
- Are interested in partnering with our team to work toward your health and wellness goals without stigma or shame,
Then we are here to help.
Getting Started
As a new patient at Parker Family Medicine and Metabolic Health, you can expect a comprehensive and personalized approach to your care. There are just a few things we need from you first.
Request an Appointment
We want to make it as easy as possible to get started. Simply call, text, or complete the form linked below to request a new patient appointment.
If you are unable to make your scheduled new patient appointment, please cancel or reschedule at least 48 hours in advance. Many patients are waiting for appointments, so we need to keep all available slots open.
Have Your Lab Work Drawn
After scheduling your appointment, we’ll need to get your labs drawn. This step is very important, as we want an individualized plan ready during your first appointment. If you haven’t had your labs drawn before your first appointment, we will ask you to reschedule.
Please visit our office for lab work, where our staff will direct you to our on-site lab. The address is:
Avalon Medical Group
2nd Floor, 2410 East Avalon Ave
Muscle Shoals, AL 35661
Prepare for Your Appointment
We’ll send you some paperwork that must be completed prior to your first appointment. We have a lot to cover during your first appointment, so if you still need to prepare the paperwork, we may ask you to reschedule.
To get a copy of the paperwork, you can:
- Pick up a physical copy of the forms at our office when you come for lab work.
- Ask our staff to text you the paperwork via our HIPAA-compliant texting platform.
- Fill out and submit the forms online by clicking one of the links below.
