Due to the CoVID-19 pandemic and our effort to minimize social contact within our clinic, you are now able to call our office and schedule a telephone consultation with your regular physician. If required this could be changed to a video consultation or in person appointment. If you are calling to make an appointment please be prepared to answer questions about your problem so we can book the right type of appointment for you.
