Preparing for Your Appointment
After Dr. Giroux receives the referral from your provider, you will receive a phone call with an appointment date, time, and location.
Patient Forms
To help us prepare for your appointment, we ask patients to complete a health questionnaire before their visit. Please complete forms no later than 7 days prior to your appointment. If you receive an appointment on short notice, please complete forms at your earliest convenience.
Need Help Completing Your Pre-Appointment Forms?
We are here to help. We understand that some patients may experience challenges completing electronic forms for a variety of reasons, including limited access to technology, difficulty using computers, disability or visual impairment, language barriers, or other personal circumstances.
Our clinic is committed to providing accessible, respectful, and timely care for every patient. If you are unable to complete your forms electronically, we will work with you to identify an alternative that best meets your needs.
Your appointment will not be cancelled solely because you are unable to complete your forms electronically.
If you experience any difficulties completing your forms, or if you have questions about the available options, please contact our office. Our staff will be pleased to assist you and help determine the option that best meets your needs.
Please see our "Intake Form Options" handout below for a summary of the available options for completing your pre-appointment forms. Our goal is to make the pre-appointment process as straightforward and accessible as possible so that you can focus on your care.
