Before Your Visit
Policies & Patient Forms
A few simple guidelines help us give every patient focused, unhurried care — and getting your paperwork ready ahead of time makes your visit smooth.
Visit Policy
Making the most of your appointment.
So Dr. Katari can give your concerns the attention they deserve, we schedule two distinct types of visits. Choosing the right one helps us care for you safely and thoroughly.
A wellness visit is for wellness.
Annual physicals and preventive visits are dedicated to keeping you healthy — reviewing screenings, prevention, and overall wellbeing.
- Focused on prevention and your yearly health review.
- Not intended for new or acute (sick) problems. If a new issue comes up, we’ll be glad to schedule a separate sick visit.
- This keeps your preventive care complete and your insurance benefits clear.
A sick visit focuses on the issue.
Sick visits are scheduled to address a specific concern so we can evaluate it carefully and safely in the time available.
- Please focus on the specific issue that brought you in.
- A sick visit isn’t the time to review every ongoing concern — that’s what wellness and chronic-care follow-ups are for.
- Have several things to discuss? Let us know when booking and we’ll schedule enough time.
Paperwork
Patient forms
New patients can save time by completing these before arriving. Prefer to fill them in electronically? You can also complete intake through the Patient Portal.
To request any of these forms, please call our office at (214) 884-2774 or ask our front desk at check-in. Completed forms contain Protected Health Information — please bring them in person or submit securely through the Patient Portal rather than by email.
