FAQs from Coastal Patients

What do I do if I’m sick at night or on the weekend?

If you are sick after hours or on the weekend, please call your primary care office.  We will assist you in getting the care you need.

How do I communicate a general health question?

The best way to communicate with your office with general questions is through the Patient Portal. On the patient portal, you can send your practice a message, request an appointment, view your lab results and much more.
