FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I CANNOT FIND A PARKING SPACE?
There are designated clinic parking spots in the garage. If they are full and there are no spaces remaining in the parking garage, please do not spend valuable appointment time looking. Go to the security desk to inform them that you have an appointment and they will find you a place to park.
HOW DO I GET A WALK-IN APPOINTMENT?
UFHC does not have walk-in appointments. All patient appointments are scheduled. Please call the clinic to obtain a same day/acute appointment. The clinic schedule ensures that there are several acute appointments available each day for unexpected illnesses. Note: If you walk-in for an appointment, you will be given the next available appointment time, which could be several hours later.
HOW DO I RENEW MY MEDICATIONS?
To refill your prescription you can call, come by the clinic to place a request or contact your provider via secure messaging (Relay Health). We will fill your prescription within 72 hours (3 business days). If your prescription is expired, you will need a new prescription. You can come in or call the clinic for renewal of your medications also. The staff will let you know if you need an appointment or whether this can be handled without being seen.
