GENERAL OFFICE INFORMATION

We recognize that continuity of your health care is our responsibility and hence we are trying to provide you with an open access office to avoid the need to go to urgent care or walk in clinics. We have made access to our offices easier by keeping several open appointment slots, adding more phone lines, and email service, in order to address your today's health problems today. Hence, please call or email whenever possible to help us provide continuity of your health care. In case of any urgent needs you may come to the office without an appointment i.e., as a walk in.
We will send prescription renewals directly to pharmacies at your or pharmacist's request whenever needed, however, you will need to take the charge of your health care by following up when regular follow up has been advised for the management of an ongoing health problem as specified by the physician. In this case it will be a very helpful if you schedule your next appointment at the time of your office visit.
We will try to provide house calls as well when needed.
