You are in safe hands now more than ever! We have always prided ourselves in following the highest levels of infection control.

What we are doing to keep our patients safe

  3. We are asking patients to use hand sanitizer upon entering the office.
  4. We are taking and recording patient temperatures upon arrival at the office.
