Welcome to Emerald Coast Family Medicine! My name is DeAnn, and as the Office Manager, my goal is to make sure your experience with us is as worry-free as possible. We take great pride in the personal care we provide our community. One of the things that truly sets our practice apart is the direct relationship we build with our patients-at every single appointment, you will be meeting directly with Dr. Castaneda. We look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your health goals. If you have questions before your visit, please don't hesitate to reach out to our team at (850)729-3300.
What to Expect: Your First Visit
We want your first appointment to be as straightforward as possible. Here is a quick guide to help you prepare:
Arrive Early for Paperwork: Please plan to arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled time. You can download and print our New Patient Forms
The Check-in Process: Please bring your photo ID and current insurance card. We will verify your coverage and collect any applicable co-pays or deductibles at this time.
Meeting Dr. Castaneda: After you are checked in, one of our Medical Assistants will bring you back for a brief intake history review to prepare for your visit with Dr. Castaneda.
Next Steps: Before you leave, we will provide any necessary prescriptions and help you schedule any needed follow-up visits.
"Your Health, Our Family, The Emerald Coast Way."
Emerald Coast Family Medicine: Dedicated to elevating the health of our community through compassionate, physician-led care and staff that treats you like family.
