Welcome to North Florida Women’s Care! We offer a few easy ways to become a new patient.
North Florida Women’s Care will soon offer online scheduling for new or existing patients who are not pregnant and are well (not experiencing any issues).
Whether you are well or unwell, pregnant or not pregnant, give us a call to speak with our scheduling specialists, who are happy to book your appointment. Our number is 850-877-7241.
Although we do not require you to be referred*, we often have providers from other practices and specialties send patients to us. If it is an urgent matter, your referring provider will call us to determine if you need to proceed to the ER or be scheduled with us that day. With non-urgent matters, the referring provider will send the referral request to us and we will contact you to collect any information we need to get you registered as a patient and scheduled for an appointment.
Referring practices can use our Referrals resource page for our helpful step-by-step referral process.
*If you are a Medicare patient, you do need a referral from your primary care provider (and not Medicare) before we are able to schedule you.
Once you secure an appointment, we will text and/or email you forms we need you to fill out before you arrive for your first appointment. You can fill out and submit them conveniently online or through our Patient Portal. This will reduce your wait time at your appointment.
Check out our Preparing for Your Visit page and get all the information you need for a smooth and pleasant first appointment.
