  • Both video visit and in-office visits are available for follow ups and acute problems. Wellness visits can only be done in person unless you make special arrangements.
Preparing for an appointment in the office:
  • We no longer need to screen you for your risk for COVID-19 before your visit. People who have COVID -19 symptoms should stay home regardless of your vaccine status.
