I will no longer be using my pager. Please call my cell phone if you need urgent care. I am hoping this improves communication. With my cell phone, you can know for sure you have reached me and I can let you know what to do if I am unavailable or out of cell phone service. That number is 802-379-5126.
Please be aware, I have closed 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 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.
