Group Visits

You are invited to join Dr. Gibson-Berry and other patients in our practice for a “group visit.” It’s an idea that other doctors around the country have found helps them care for their patients in ways that cannot be accomplished during the usual 15- to 20-minute office visit.

The group visit program was set up to provide an additional opportunity for patients to meet with their doctor on a regular basis and to learn how to deal with common health problems. Group visits also give patients the opportunity to learn from other patients who are dealing with similar health problems and to get their health needs met and their questions answered. From time to time other health professionals, such as pharmacists or health educators, may join your doctor at the visits. Group visits are entirely optional, but tend to be popular amongst patients once they have tried them.

Here’s how it works: Dr. Gibson-Berry will visit with you and approximately 10 other patients for about an hour and a half here at the office. During the visit, there will be time for talking with other patients as well as receiving education about specific health problems. Dr. Gibson-Berry will also spend a short time talking with each patient individually about their concerns – either before or after the group visit. If you have additional health concerns that require more time to be addressed, you will have the option of setting up a separate office visit to discuss those issues.

You are welcome to bring a family member or friend with you.  All attendees will be required to sign a HIPAA form to ensure privacy outside of our group meeting.  When you come in for the group visit, simply check in as usual with the front desk and pay your usual co-pay. The receptionist will direct you where to go.

If you are interested in attending, please let us know. You may ask about this at your next appointment or fill out this form and we will let you know when the group sessions are going to be.  Eventually, you will be able to sign up for time slots directly through a secure patient portal.
