Dr. McCall

“‘The quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.’ – Portia, William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act 4, Scene 1.

This quote was inscribed upon a large rock plaque that was visible daily to all medical residents, including myself. Every day, for three years, I read this quote both at the beginning and the end of my 12 and 24 hour shifts. The quote has now become a personal motto for me during my medical career. Serving patients in need of medical care is definitely a privilege and an honor, but, even more so, a blessing. I wish to form physician-patient relationship with you that will help improve your physical health, mental health, and overall well-being” – Dr. Kortni McCall, D.O.

Brooke Uptagrafft, MD, FAAFP

“Patients seek the aid of physicians for assistance in ending their suffering. Suffering can come in many different forms but for the one experiencing it, it is painful. I hope to center my practice on assisting my patient to end their own suffering. That could involve you taking a medicine prescribed, changing your diet, ending an addiction, understanding more about your disease, adjusting your lifestyle to prevent further illness or even questioning your stressful thoughts. In my experience, physicians can provide sound medical advice but it is up to you, the patient, to take charge of your own physical and mental health.” – Dr. Brooke Uptagrafft –

What to Expect Next

Once you have added your name and submitted the form on this page, your name will be added to our list to receive an email invitation to begin the new patient enrollment process when we resume accepting new patients.

On the new patient pre-registration date, you will receive an email inviting you to pre-register to be a new patient at Innova Primary Care. Once you have completed the information requested, we are typically able to process your pre-registration within 3 business days.
You will receive a “Welcome New Patient” email to the email address you have submitted on your pre-registration with instructions to complete your medical history questionnaire on your patient portal.
Once we receive your medical history questionnaire, you will receive a portal message, typically within 1 business day, with a link to click on to schedule a good day and time for us to call you to finish your new patient registration. During the phone call we will get your insurance information and go over our Innova Relationship Agreement and put a payment method on file for you.
Welcome to Innova Primary Care! It’s time to schedule your new patient appointment, we look forward to meeting you face to face.

Please remember to bring your photo ID and insurance card to your new patient appointment so we can scan them into our system. The only paperwork you will need to complete at the office will be your HIPAA form and a medical records request if we need to receive any records from prior physicians.
