Access to Care

Appointments

Patients are seen on an appointment basis. We respect your time and make every effort to remain on schedule and ask that you extend to us the same courtesy. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment for check-in to assist us in seeing you at your scheduled time. If you are late or miss your appointment, the appointment specialists (in glass office to left at front entrance) will help you to reschedule.

For your convenience we offer a centralized appointment system — call the general phone number (864) 656-1541. Or you can call directly:

Medical Services (864) 656-1541
Women's Clinic (864) 656-1541
Health Promotion (864) 656-0141
CAPS (864) 656-2451

Nurses Clinic Walk-In

We realize that medical situations arise that cannot be scheduled. For urgent problems use the nurse's clinic, which is a walk-in clinic. An urgent problem is one that cannot wait for an appointment. If you are not sure whether to come or not, call (864) 656-2233 and ask to speak to a nurse. In the nurse's clinic you will be seen by a registered nurse who will assess your problem and take appropriate action.

Allergy Clinic

Contact Redfern on your arrival to campus and set up an appointment by telephoning the Allergy Clinic at (864) 656-1541. Allow 1 - 1½ hours for the first visit to meet with the physician, the allergy nurse and complete the paperwork. Thereafter, a 20 minute waiting period is required each time you receive your injection. Bring your vaccine and physician's orders with you to your first appointment. Injections will NOT be given unless instructions are complete and signed by your physician and an initial injection has been administered in your medical doctor's office.
