Appointments

It is the policy of our practice to see patients by appointment only.  Urgent visits for illness and injury are available daily.  Please schedule well care visits in advance to ensure the ideal time and date are available. 

Please let the front desk know how you would like to receive your appointment reminders.  We are able to text, email, or call.

A parent or legal guardian must be present for well care/physical appointments for patients under the age of 18.
