Appointments

Although we have a comfortable “just like home” office, with a coffee bar, cookies baked fresh daily and lots of toys for children, we also know you have a busy life. We have designed our appointment scheduling systems to see patients on time without waiting.

Our customized reminder system calls you the night before to confirm your appointment, and we use follow-up emails and text messaging reminders to help you manage your appointments more easily.

Our staff is always ready to help with your scheduling, insurance or anything else you may need during your time with us. We will take extra care to listen to your concerns, answer all your questions and thoroughly explain your condition and treatment options.
