Schedule a visit close to lunch time or at the end of the day.

Reason: vendors should be seen by appointment at times that minimize disruption to patient care. Confirm the time with Dr. Kimmel, have the vendor sign in per office policy, and ensure they follow office infection‑control and visitor procedures.
