Safety measures taken include limiting the number of people in the building, patients and providers wearing masks per state guidelines, and allowing for extra time in between patients to thoroughly sanitize the rooms. All who enter the building must wash their hands or use sanitizer immediately. There is hand sanitizer throughout the building. Patients are asked to call or text us upon their arrival and wait in their cars or in the parking lot until notified for their appointment. We are currently open for all patient visits and are accepting new patients.
