OVERVIEW
SAME DAY SICK VISITS
We are able to accommodate our patients with same day sick appointments. We ask you to call as early as you can. Seeing your primary care provider who knows you best rather than going to an emergency room provides better medical care to you and is also cost effective.
WELL VISITS
We encourage preventative medicine, so please keep your follow-up visits and well visit appointments. Your provider will discuss with you strategies on how to live healthy.
