Preparing for Your Patient Visit
Our clinic has procedures in place to ensure the safety and well-being of patients, staff and physician. We are continuing to ask patients to wear a mask for in-person visits during the fall and winter and during respiratory outbreaks. Our goal is to protect everyone, especially our more vulnerable patient population. Please see Office Visit Procedures for more information. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
As an alternative to in-person visits, Virtual Care via phone or doxy.me is available for a select group of patients. The doctor will determine whether an in-person office visit is required for all appointment bookings based on the type of care needed and the time between in-office visits. Many patients are choosing to book in-person visits as pandemic restrictions have eased.
​
As part of preventive care, it is important for you to ensure you are up-to-date with vaccinations against all preventable / communicable diseases, including Covid-19 vaccine boosters. We invite you to visit our Immunization section for a list of recommended vaccines for your age group.
After Hours Care
When our office is closed and a medical concern arises, patients may have questions about what to do. Here are some helpful links to help guide your decision-making:
-
For non-urgent concerns, call 8-1-1. Licensed nurses are available to help with your decision-making

We are available to help during regular business hours.​
