Can my family member or friend join me in the exam room?

Every patient is entitled to a confidential, private examination. Generally, family members and friends are asked to remain in the waiting room until after the physician has completed an initial examination. The staff will be available to provide family members information or answer questions. After this initial visit with your physician and nurse, a family member or friend may join you.
