Getting to Bend from Prineville

Most people take OR-126 through Redmond or cut across on the Powell Butte Highway. Plan on about 45 minutes. The first visit is in person and long, since it covers your history, medications, supplements and past labs (what to bring).

After that, follow-ups can often happen by video from Prineville, which saves you most of the driving.

Shift work, desk work and a body that has had enough

A lot of Prineville patients work long or odd hours, whether that is a data center shift, a ranch, or a desk. The complaints that come in are familiar: sleep that won’t settle, thyroid and testosterone questions, weight that won’t move, and back or joint pain that has become the background noise of the day.

None of that gets fixed in a 12-minute appointment. It usually starts with a full lab picture.

Blood work without the drive

You don’t have to come to Bend for blood work. The clinic can refer you to a blood draw station or send a mobile phlebotomist, and recent results from another doctor can often be used. When the results are in, Dr. Collins goes through them with you, in the office or on video.

When to stay in Prineville

Urgent problems, acute infections and anything that needs same-day care belong at a clinic or urgent care in Prineville. Proactive Choice is for the long-running stuff.

Cost and payment

Proactive Choice is self-pay and doesn’t bill insurance. HSA and FSA funds and credit cards are accepted, and the clinic can give you a superbill to send your insurer. Fees aren’t posted yet, so ask on the free call. The cost guide explains how visits and labs are usually priced.
