Please be aware, I am having to close my practice to new patients. Patients who have not transferred from Bennington Family Practice to my new office will need to choose a new physician. I will still be accepting new babies. I will be accepting family members on a limited basis only.
I have started using the hospital based doctors (Hospitalists) to help care for my patients when they are needing to be admitted to the hospital. For more information about this program, please click here.
Please be aware that I do not accept credit cards.
FLU SHOTS
I am sorry to say I have run out of seasonal flu shots for adults.
Injectable and nasal seasonal flu vaccine are
available for all children under 19. This vaccine is provided by the
state health department.
I now have a plentiful supply of H1N1 (swine) flu vaccines and anyone over 6 months may receive a vaccination. Children under 10 years old will need a booster in 3 or more weeks.
