Need help
At the end of each visit, you will receive a summary of your care. This summary will include the reason for your visit, any medical problems and/or allergies, follow-up instructions, upcoming appointments and a list of your current medications.
VCU Medical Center physicians are among the best in the nation. They are responsible for your examination, diagnosis and treatment. Your physician will discuss with you which procedures and tests may be necessary.
During your visit with the physician, you may have contact with other members of the health care team. Team members may include nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, technologists, social workers and other specialists. Since VCU Medical Center is an academic training hospital, you may be seen by residents who are physicians receiving extra training and expertise.
No two patient visits are alike. The length of your visit will depend on the amount of time your health care provider requires to ask questions or examine you. We want to be sure to address all your medical needs. Additional time may be required if your physician wants to schedule a diagnostic procedure or laboratory test.
