New Patient Information
Yuko Family Medicine is currently accepting new patients ages 40 and under.
Appointments with Dr. Yuko McColgan can be conducted in both English and Japanese.
Getting started is easy as 1, 2, 3:
Please download and complete: New Patient Forms (click here).
To submit the forms, you may:
Drop off the forms in person in our office from 8AM - 1PM or 2PM-4PM
Mail your forms to our office
Fax your forms to 617-232-8086
Please note that we cannot accept forms over email due to the sensitive nature of your healthcare information per HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).
Once received by the office, the office will reach out via phone call to schedule the initial visit.
IMPORTANT POLICIES (PLEASE READ):
Please submit a copy of your insurance card, front and back, with your forms. If you come into our office to drop off the forms, we can make a photocopy in the office.
Adults (19 and older):
All new patients will be asked to complete a blood test (titer) to test for immunity to Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella), and Varicella (chickenpox). This blood test will be ordered at your first visit in the office, and you may complete the bloodwork at your convenience.
Bloodwork is completed at Quest Diagnostics. We have a Quest Diagnostics location on the same floor as our office. You may make an appointment at https://appointment.questdiagnostics.com/ for after your appointment if you would like to go on the same day. Otherwise, you may complete the bloodwork at any Quest Diagnostics location that is convenient for you at any time after your appointment.
All adults must have an up to date Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccine within the last 10 years. If it has been more than 10 years, we will discuss this at the first visit with you and schedule a vaccine appointment.
Pediatric Patients (up to 18 years old):
For new children from Japan, please submit a copy of the Mama’s Book when submitting your forms.
Any new pediatric patients seen in the United States by another practice must provide the complete health record from their previous doctor’s office prior to scheduling the first visit, including all office notes and vaccination records. This is usually done by contacting your previous doctor’s office and requesting a “medical records release” to a new doctor’s office, and they will ask you to sign a form. Afterwards, they will send the records over to our office.
Pediatric patients 12 years old and under are seen in the office for the first visit.
Patients 13 and older will have their initial visits via televisit.
Please note that our office follows the CDC Vaccination Schedules.
We do not accept walk-ins. We can only accommodate scheduled patients in office.
