 Meriter's Primary Care Clinic
on Nesbitt Road
Meriter is proud to introduce Cyndi Pickney, DO, and Arpad Olajos, MD, to the community. (Pronounced
R-pad Oh-lie-yosh.) Both physicians are board-certified in internal medicine, and
are
currently providing internal medicine services at our temporary clinic location
on Nesbitt Road.
In July 2008, both physicians will begin providing services at the new Meriter Medical
Clinic-McKee, located near the intersection of Highways PD and M. We are
designing Meriter Medical Clinic-McKee with patient comfort and privacy in mind,
and trust that you will find comfort in our consistency and value our premier
healthcare services when you transition your care to the new clinic.
Our physicians and staff know that in order to treat the whole person, they need
to be partners in health – keeping you and your family well, encouraging healthy
lifestyle habits and treating you when you're sick. We provide personalized care
and, if necessary, will refer you to medical specialists who we feel will
provide the same level of care you have come to expect from us.

internist is common practice in the United States, where nearly 60 percent of
doctor visits in any given year involve primary care specialists.

healthcare, and want you to feel confident that we manage your care well. They
serve as personal care physicians, provide preventive and diagnostic services,
counsel and educate patients on appropriate health behaviors, manage and
coordinate patient care and facilitate access to specialty and follow-up care.
Meriter Medical Clinic offers:
- General medical exams
- Prenatal exams or pap tests
- Diagnostic and screening
|
- Small surgical procedures such as mole or suture removal
- ECG testing

Making Appointments
There is never a good time for an illness to arise or an injury to occur. Our
staff strives to take the frustration out of appointment scheduling by
accommodating your specific needs. We strive to stay on schedule, because we
know how valuable your time is.
In order to be able to schedule ill patients on the same day they call the
clinic, we hold open several appointment slots. If you feel you need to be seen
on an urgent basis, we will likely ask you to speak with a clinical staff person
who will assess your need and arrange for appropriate care.
If you are unable to keep a scheduled appointment, we ask that you please notify
us at least 24 hours in advance, if possible.
Prescription Refills
If you need a refill on your prescription, please call your regular pharmacy to reorder. They will contact us immediately for confirmation on refilling your prescription.
We will call in your refill order to the pharmacy you designate within 24 hours, and notify you if there are circumstances that will not allow it to be refilled.
Lab Work and Tests
Meriter Medical Clinic offers laboratory testing services. Tests are drawn
on-site, and then processed at Meriter Laboratories. If you need to stop in for
lab tests between appointments, it is helpful for you to call ahead of time so
that we may prepare your lab orders. Unless your physician states otherwise, we
will contact you with any lab work results that require follow up.
Hospitalist Care
If you should ever need to be admitted for hospitalization at Meriter Hospital, you are apt to be under the care of hospitalists -
Meriter Medical Group physicians who specialize in the care of hospital patients. Hospitalists work closely with your primary care physician and specialists to provide around-the-clock medical services. For more information, visit our Hospitalist Program section.
