Calls or Text During Office Hours
Patients and caregivers are encouraged to use Patient Ally's portal to communicate securely with our office. We also welcome your call with any questions. The office staff is trained to answer most non-clinical questions, including billing inquiries. Staff members are not able to give medical advice over the phone. If you have a medical-related inquiry, we ask that you leave a message with one of our staff members or message us through Patient Ally portal. Your primary care physician, the doctor in the office at the time, or our medical assistant will return your call or message.
Text Me
When leaving messages during office hours, please keep in mind that our priority is with the patients that are in the office. Therefore, your call will be returned once a medical caregiver finishes seeing our patients in the office.

It's that time again, FLU SHOTS are in!
Flu shot, also known as Influenza vaccines, are vaccines that protect against influenza. A new version of the vaccine is developed twice a year as the influenza virus rapidly changes. While their effectiveness varies from year to year, most provide modest to high protection against influenza. They decrease the number of missed days of work by a half day on average.
