No, you do not. You can schedule your own appointment.
Breathe Better. Scratch Less. Take Less Medication.
Tired of your stuffy nose? Do you have sinus infections, one right after the other? Does eating a certain food make you break out in hives or cause you to run to the restroom?
It may be time to have a consultation with Dr. Robert Szalewski at our Outpatient Specialty Clinic.
Dr. Szalewski’s office schedules their own appointment times for his clinic in Falls City. If you are a first time patient, his office will reach out to obtain your information (address, insurance, meds, etc.) prior to your visit. The nurse who shows you to the exam room will review your medication list and take your vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, oxygen).

- Each specialist has their own forms they want you to fill out. While we do have your information, their clinics have different information and questions they will ask you. We are working on online forms for your convenience.
- When the staff member takes you back to your exam room, they will take your weight (we know, none of us like it, but it is necessary information), blood pressure, oxygen level, and ask you about your medications. (An updated list of meds is a must, especially for a first-time patient.)
- Wait times for your appointment can vary. Some clinic visits with certain providers are scheduled around surgeries. Sometimes, surgeries run longer than anticipated. Your patience and understanding in those situations are greatly appreciated.
- Blood draws sometimes are required for appointments. If they aren’t arranged ahead of time, you may have to step over to our lab and one of our laboratory team members will take care of you.
