We understand that life is busy, so we are pleased to offer, in most instances, same day appointments. We are also beginning to provide Telemedicine appointments through certain insurance providers.
Our answering service is available 24/7 for our obstetric and emergency gynecology patients. We also do not share call with any other group, guaranteeing that our own physicians will be available for delivery of our pregnant patients at any time.
We appreciate your confidence in us and hope to participate in your health for many years.
