Summer Hours & Walk-Ins

This summer, we’re open 7 days/week. 8:30 to 4:30 on weekdays. 10 to 4 on Saturdays. 11 to 3 on Sundays. It’s best to make an appointment. If you want to come in same day, just call ahead to find out when the best time would be to avoid waiting. Patients with appointments take priority over walk-ins. If you have a problem after hours, and are already one of our patients, don’t hesitate to call. We always have a medical provider on call.

WHOM TO SEE WHEN. Dr. Teel works Saturdays and Sundays. Sundays are our least busy times, so you may want to book your appointment then. Dr. Teel can handle just about any issue for patients of any age, but he is particularly gifted in working with our older patients. Family Nurse Practitioner, Susan Lord ,also works for us on Saturdays. She is well-versed in family medicine, but she also specializes in women’s health, birth control, and sexually-transmitted diseases for both men, women and teens of both genders. During the week, you’ll find Dr. Steve Cook, and Family Nurse Practitioners Brett Auclaire and Becky Traquair available to treat you. If you want to see someone in particular, it’s best to make an appointment. Our newest Family Nurse Practitioiner, Jennie McNeil, is available by appointment only. She specializes in tick-borne diseases and mental health. 

We pride ourselves in spending as much time as needed to listen to, and to diagnose and treat each patient. During the busy summer months, that’s a challenge, so please be patient and understanding.
