We encourage you to make appointments for services to help us prepare for your visit. To schedule an appointment, please call (360) 466-3167.
Checking in
All patients must check in at the front desk of the medical clinic to verify/update patient information. Each time you arrive for an appointment, you will be asked to update your patient registration information (e.g., address, telephone number, health insurance status, etc.). For your first visit, plan to arrive 30 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to allow time to prepare your record and collect other required information . For subsequent visits please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment. Scheduled appointments will not be made until the patient registration is complete.
Same-Day Appointments
Same-day services are available Monday-Friday for acute care conditions. We do our best to accommodate our patients for sick care.
Late and Missed Appointments
It is the patient’s responsibility to keep track of their appointments. If you are unable to keep an appointment, please call 24 hours in advance. Late arrivals may need to be rescheduled.
Appointment Cancellations
If you cannot make your scheduled appointment, please let us know 24 hours in advance of your appointment or as soon as possible by calling (360) 466-3167. Please leave a detailed message on the confidential general voicemail box if you are calling after hours.
After Hours Call-Line: (360) 588-2771
We are dedicated to making sure that as a patient of the Swinomish Medical Clinic you receive the best medical care we can provide 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We also recognize that sometimes your health care needs arise when we are not open for service. To meet that challenge, we offer an after hours call line. The line will prompt you to leave a message. A provider or nurse will return your call to guide you to resolve your health care need, or recommend that you seek immediate medical care at the nearest emergency department.
