How often do our patients see a doctor?

 

The short answer is: We are here as often as you need us. At a minimum, our physicians will schedule your regular appointments twice a year. After assessing the patient’s state of health, our physicians may order additional blood work or refer you to a specialist. There are instances such as Coumadin Clinic or chronic conditions where you may be scheduled more frequently.

​

Do you specialize in any other services?

 

• All of our physicians are on call 24/7.

• We offer hands-on care by providing manipulations, also called OMT procedures (osteopathic manipulative treatments).

• Our medical assistants are very well-trained in drawing blood, and we do our own lab draws in the office.

• If a patient’s diagnosis suggests the need for a specialist, we will make that referral.
