WELCOME - NEW PATIENTS

Thank you for choosing Dr. Ludington and North Coast Cardiology for your heart health care. Our staff will do everything we can to make your visit educational and helpful.

For your first appointment, please arrive 20 minutes early. You will need to fill out a new patient form that details your medical history.

Be sure to bring with you to your appointment:
  •  Your health insurance card. We cannot see you without it.
  •  Photo identification
  •  Your social security number (card not needed)
  •  Your referring or primary care doctor’s name, address and phone number.
  •  Cash, check, VISA or MasterCard payment for your co-pay or deductible.
  •  A COMPLETE LIST of your medications including doses. This is VERY IMPORTANT.
  •  Your pharmacy’s phone number and address.
  •  If you have not had a cholesterol check in over a year, you may come in a FASTING state (no food for 12 hours) and we can check your cholesterol levels at your visit. (Or, you may come back at another time to do this blood test.)
  •  Consider bringing a list of a few questions to ask the doctor.

We request that you notify us at least 24 hours in advance if you are unable to make your appointment. We reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee for missed appointments. We respect your time — we’d like to ask the same of you.
