Respect and Expect: Respect the pace of small town life, as this may likely translate into the pace of the medical clinic. But, expect excellent care and results. If you are not satisfied by the knowledge, skill and empathy of the healthcare provider, then find another one. This advice is for city-dwellers and country-residents alike.

Be yourself: It should't matter if you are an urban dweller going to small town clinic. Health care professionals are the same everywhere. Attitudes are individual rather than geographic.
