COVID-19 News and Updates

At this time we are seeing patients at our offices and are verbally screening each patient to ensure they do not expose our office or patient community to any illness (coronavirus, flu, or other active viruses). For those of you who may have an OB or GYN health issue that is problematic but not urgent, the best place for you to seek care is within our offices. Please contact us prior to heading to any walk-in clinic or ER.
