At Dr. Martin’s Wellness Center, we are committed to providing accessible, compassionate care for individuals and families. Our approach to family medicine goes beyond treating symptoms — we focus on the full picture of your health, addressing physical, emotional, and social well-being.
We believe healthcare works best when it’s a true partnership between you and your physician, empowering you to take an active role in managing your health at every stage of life.
For medical emergencies, please call 911 immediately.

When you ask us about routine primary care, we will explain what it may involve for you: ongoing care for common health concerns, prevention, and coordination. Because the right guidance depends on your situation, we will talk with you about your age, history, symptoms, medications, and preventive needs.
We review your health history, medicines, measurements, vaccines, and screening needs. Tell us about any changes since your last visit so we can focus the conversation on what matters to you.
Tell us when it began, where you feel it, what makes it better or worse, and whether anything else changed. Those details help us decide how soon you should be evaluated.
Follow-up lets us compare your symptoms, home readings, test results, and response to treatment. If the plan is not working for you, we can discuss adjustments.
Yes. Bring your prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, and supplements, including doses if you know them. We can review possible interactions and side effects with you.
Your age, personal and family history, and earlier results help guide that discussion. We can explain the purpose and timing of each screening we recommend.
Bring any vaccination records you have. We can review your past doses, health conditions, and work or travel plans to discuss what may be appropriate.
Not necessarily. We order tests when they address a specific symptom, condition, medicine, or screening need, and we can explain what a result would help us learn.
A referral may help when your concern needs focused testing or care beyond a routine visit. We can explain the reason and help you understand the next step.
Before you leave, ask what changes to watch for, when results should be available, and when we want to see you again. The timing depends on the reason for your visit.
Yes, you can discuss prevention, medicines, and any health questions during a routine visit. We will tailor the visit to your age and history.
They serve different purposes. A wellness visit focuses on overall health and prevention; tell us when scheduling if you also need a new symptom evaluated.
That depends on the symptom and how severe it is. Call us with the timing and any associated signs; seek urgent care for severe or rapidly worsening symptoms.
Record the symptoms or home measurements relevant to your condition and note any medicine changes. Bring the record so we can see trends rather than relying on one day.
Tell us what happened, when it started, and the name and dose of the medicine. Do not stop a prescribed medicine without speaking with the prescribing clinician unless you need emergency care.
It may. Let us know which relatives were affected and at what ages so we can consider whether your screening plan needs to differ.
Yes. Your destination, departure date, and planned activities may affect what vaccines or travel advice you need. Share those details when you book.
Ask why the test is being ordered, whether you need to prepare, and how results will be shared. We can also explain what happens if a result needs follow-up.
The process may vary by referral and insurance plan. Ask us what information we will send and whether you need an authorization or to call the specialist yourself.
Contact us rather than waiting for the appointment. Describe what changed and when so we can advise whether you need earlier evaluation.
We may review conditions and prior care that affect your current concern. Bringing a current problem list or outside records can help us keep the information accurate.
The measurements depend on the visit, but we may review items such as blood pressure and weight alongside your history. Ask what each measurement means for you.
We ask about timing, severity, triggers, and related symptoms, then decide whether an examination or testing is needed. Several conditions can feel similar, so the details matter.
Yes. Bring dated readings and note when you took them and whether you felt unwell. We can compare that pattern with your symptoms and treatment plan.
Supplements can affect how a treatment is planned or interact with other products. Tell us the product name and amount, even if you bought it without a prescription.
Not always. Recommended intervals depend on the test and your history or past results. We can help you keep track of what is due and what can wait.
It can. Share your diagnoses, current medicines, and any past vaccine reactions so we can review the choices that fit your situation.
Ask our office how results are delivered and when to expect them. Make sure we have the right contact information and ask whom to call if nothing arrives.
Bring the referral details, relevant test results, medication list, and questions you want answered. Ask whether our office has sent the specialist your records.
Yes. Tell us whether it helped, whether you missed doses, and any side effects. That helps us decide if the plan should continue or change.
Bring your medication list, major diagnoses, past procedures, and recent records if you have them. Write down your main concern so we can address it first.
Yes, if it is available. Your record helps us avoid guessing which vaccines you already received and identify any gaps worth discussing.
It may, especially if the change is no longer visible by your appointment. Note the date and any accompanying symptoms, and show the photo during your visit.
Tell us what activities have become harder, not just whether a number has changed. Function and symptoms can help us judge whether your care plan meets your goals.
An accurate list is useful; bottles or clear photos can help when names or doses are uncertain. Include products prescribed by other clinicians too.
Bring the test date, result, and any recommended follow-up if you have them. Prior results can affect whether another test is needed now.
Let us know what you do remember and bring any records or portal information you can find. We can discuss how to confirm your history before deciding what comes next.
Some tests have preparation instructions and others do not. Ask us about your specific orders before changing what you eat or take.
Of course. We can explain the type of expertise your concern calls for, and you can ask about location, availability, and insurance requirements.
Read any instructions that come with it and contact us if the meaning or next step is unclear. Some results need a separate conversation even when you feel well.
Severe or rapidly worsening symptoms need prompt evaluation. Call 911 for a medical emergency; for other time-sensitive changes, call us so we can guide the next step.
You can ask about its benefits, limits, and alternatives before deciding. Let us know your concerns so the decision is informed and documented.
It could be relevant. Bring the medicine name, dose, start date, and a timeline of the symptom so we can assess the connection.
Recheck it as instructed for that device, note how you feel, and contact us for advice. Seek urgent help if you have serious symptoms.
Tell us whenever another clinician changes a prescription or you start an over-the-counter product. Review the list with us at visits and correct anything outdated.
