TELEHEALTH Is Now Available

TELEHEALTH is now being offered at our practice. Please call us to schedule your telehealth appointment. This is an effective way to communicate with our patients, especially those with weakened immune systems. We are still here to manage your health care needs because we know that the physical examination is a vital part of health care management. We are taking every precaution necessary with constant disinfection of areas as nothing has changed in our management of airborne diseases. Some conditions and follow up appointments can be diagnosed over the phone that exclude medical emergencies.
