Make a Primary Care Appointment

Primary Care Appointments at UHS

  • For new problems or concerns requiring an evaluation
  • Follow-up from prior visits
  • If you wish to request a referral or need to establish care with your primary care provider to manage ongoing medical issues.

Once you see a primary care provider (PCP) at UHS, they will be assigned your PCP, however you can change your PCP at any time, visit our Meet the Staff pages to learn more about Primary Care providers. Not sure if you need a phone, video, or in-person appointment? See our appointment guide.

Many Services Can Be Obtained Without an Appointment

  • To order STI testing: no appointment is needed, you can go to the Tang Center lab on the first floor.
