Which Type of Appointment Should You Request?

If you are uncertain whether a specialty is available, call the main office rather than booking an unrelated visit.

New patients must call to establish an account and arrange their first appointment. Established patients can use MyChart for appointment communication.

1. Choose your department. Medical, dental, brain health or specialty care.
2. Call 563-690-2850. State whether you are a new or established patient.
3. Describe the appointment. Explain whether you need an examination, treatment, follow-up or consultation.
4. Discuss insurance. Provide your coverage details or request sliding-fee information.
5. Ask about paperwork. Confirm whether you should complete the new-patient packet before arrival.
6. Confirm location and time. Save the clinic’s Elm Street address, department, date and check-in instructions.
7. Prepare for the visit. Bring identification, insurance cards when applicable, medical history and requested financial documents.

Acute Care Walk-In: Hours, Symptoms & Arrival

The health center offers a sliding-fee discount based on household size and income. Even patients who have insurance may be assessed for eligible discounts.

• Recent bank statements showing eligible benefit deposits.
• Applicable Medicaid or state assistance eligibility notices.

Additional Services: Pharmacy, Mobile Dental & Wellness

Infocus Pharmacy

The on-site pharmacy lists Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–5:30 PM. Confirm medication availability, refill timing and insurance participation directly with the pharmacy.

Services may include dental exams, cleanings, fillings, routine extractions and denture adjustments.

Wellness Center

Crescent also operates a Wellness Center focused on physical activity, education and prevention. The organization identifies fitness equipment, wellness classes and coaching services for eligible patients.

Its historical Wellness Center address is 1805 Central Avenue. Confirm current access, appointment requirements and opening hours rather than assuming it shares the main Elm Street clinic schedule.
