Most patients are seen by appointment. You can schedule an appointment either by calling 974-3648 or by personal appearance at the appointment desk in our lobby. After your visit, my nurse or I will contact you for abnormal lab results. If you need to contact me or are inquiring about lab results, please call 974-2275. If you are feeling worse or not improving as expected, please call 974-3648 to schedule a follow-up appointment. I will not call in antibiotic prescriptions without seeing you.
