At Optimal Health Center, we have created an inviting and relaxing space where our patients can feel at ease while receiving medical care. Our staff is courteous, informed and will be happy to answer your questions. Relax and enjoy a cup of tea before seeing the doctor. Enjoy the peace and quiet not found in traditional medical offices. Our facility Dr. Koles created the Optimal Health Center to be more than just a doctor's office with exam rooms and a blood draw room. We offer that, of course, but we also have a relaxation room with massage tables and special infrared lamps. Your first visit: Your initial visit will include a complete history and physical examination. Please bring with you a copy of your or your child's most recent laboratory results and a chronological list of significant medical conditions, events and vaccinations. It would also be helpful for us to have a photograph that we can keep in your chart. In addition to your medical history, please bring a list of any medications you're taking with dose and frequency information. Dr. Koles will review all the information, listen to your concerns, order any additional necessary tests and discuss your treatment plan with you. Typical first appointment last 1 - 1.5 hours. Out-of-town patients and consultation-only patients: Because of her unique expertise, Dr. Koles is often sought by out-of-town patients for consultations. If you're an out-of-town patient, please provide us with a name and contact information of your referring or primary care physician so that we can communicate directly with him or her. If you do not live within commuting distance of our office, it's important to establish yourself with a local doctor to care for your urgent needs.
