Same day appointments!
We are pleased to announce that we are now offering same day appointments for new and established patients who call before 3PM on a regular business day and have an insurance we accept or are self pay.  We do this to help keep patient cost down by trying to help them get in when they know they have time and/or help them avoid a more costly Emergency room or urgent care visit.  We just ask that you understand that we can't always offer the exact time you want and in fairness to those with appointments already scheduled, we may only be able to address the main issue at these visits.
