All phone calls will be returned promptly, but if you deem your problem “urgent” we will make every effort to speak to you at the time of your call.
Your provider’s personal cell phone number will be provided to you.
This allows easy and direct communications for urgent medical problems that occur outside of my regular office hours. We will use my reasonable best efforts to be available to hear from you when you are ill or injured, to coordinate your care. For emergencies, however, always call 911 first.
Care from the provider who knows you best.
In most instances you will be seen by Dr. Kahl or Dr. Ziegler the physicians who know you and your medical history best. This helps to ensure continuity of care while working toward your health goals.
Convenient email communication for non-urgent health issues or questions.
You will receive a prompt response from your physician (usually within 24 hours). Because email communication is not always secure, please use discretion when choosing topics to discuss via this platform. Your patient portal is the best way to communicate securely and confidentially.
Little or no office waiting room time, and longer appointments.
Office visits will start promptly. Appointments will generally be scheduled for approximately 30 minutes, for office visits, but a Comprehensive Annual Health Assessment will be scheduled for approximately 60 minutes.
