What will happen during my visit?
The length of your visit will vary depending on what you and your provider would like to cover. This will include the same things you’ve experienced in a primary care office i.e. taking vital signs, answering questions related to the visit, a physical examination and discussing a plan for your care.
May I keep specialists involved in my care?
Yes. The Nurse Practitioner will coordinate closely with any specialists you have and can refer you to anyone you both decide may be beneficial to ensure you’re receiving the care you need.
What if I have an urgent or emergent issue?
If the issue is urgent and cannot wait for a call back from a provider, we strongly suggest going to the nearest urgent care or emergency room for care. Please call, text or email us after receiving care so we can schedule a prompt follow-up visit in your home. In the case of an emergency, call 911 and contact us after you return home to schedule a follow-up visit.
Where will the Nurse Practitioner travel to do house calls?
We provide home visits in Southern Maine. Please contact us via email, text or phone to inquire about your area.

Why choose Hello In There In-Home Primary Care?
Your needs come first. There are no waiting rooms or rushed visits. Mobility and transportation issues will not stand in the way of you receiving high-quality services from an experienced healthcare provider.
Does a Nurse Practitioner require physician supervision or approval on decisions regarding my healthcare?
No. The state of Maine is a “full practice state” recognizing after two years of post-graduate practice supervised by a physician, Nurse Practitioners can then practice independently. We are educated and trained to utilize all of the same resources physicians have in order to provide you with the highest-quality healthcare. This role was created by a nurse and a physician in 1965 to increase the supply of primary care providers, especially in underserved urban and rural areas.
