OUR OFFICES ARE OPEN WITH LIMITED OPERATING HOURS AND WE NOW OFFER TELEMEDICINE VISITS
First, we hope you and your loved ones are safe and in good health. Needless to say, WE MISS YOU!
Whether you are requesting an appointment online or with one of our staff members, please make sure to specify your option: new patient or follow up visit, in person or telemedicine.
Our practice is one of the safest places for asthma and other allergy patients to be seen, as opposed to urgent care or emergency rooms. Allergy season is well underway and more people than usual are suffering from allergies, asthma, sneezing, wheezing, coughing and sinus problems.
