Preparing For Your First Visit

As a new patient at Willamette Valley Cancer Institute, we want you to feel comfortable, cared for and informed. Prior to your first visit and to reduce your wait time, you may wish to print and complete our new-patient forms in their entirety, then bring them to your first appointment. You will also need to discuss these items with your physician.

We recommend you bring another person with you to your first appointment, which may last 1-2 hours. Your appointment could include the following: 

• A meeting and new-patient evaluation with your physician.
• Meeting with one of our financial counselors to discuss your insurance and billing questions.
• Any additional tests needed for accurate diagnosis to help guide your treatment. 

We also encourage you to review these cancer treatment questions, which you may wish to ask your nurse or physician during your visit.
