Update: Flu vaccines will be offered beginning in October. Please check our website for availability and scheduling in late September.

Thanks to all our patients and friends who have made masks to help keep us all safe during the pandemic. We are still seeing patients in the office for vaccines and well child checks. We are screening all other appointments to decide if they should be done via telehealth or are safe to come in. We appreciate everyone’s patience as we try and navigate how best to care for all of you.

We are now offering telehealth visits for our sick patients. We hope this will alleviate fears of being exposed to possible COVID19 and still allow our sick patients access to their doctors. Call us for more information.

You can find great information on the current pandemic here. As always we are available by phone for any of your concerns. Please continue to practice social distancing even if feeling well. We can all do our part to protect each other. https://www.who.int//novel-/advice-for-public/myth-busters

Nicotine addiction can be so very hard to beat. Teens will often need help.

What a moving powerful post. Remember what you say to her... She listens. She watches. ... She thinks you are beautiful. Stop telling her you are on a diet. She listens when you say you are fat, ugly or when things are wrong.. as you cry, swear, step on the scale every single day and maybe several times a day and speak badly about yourself. Because in her eyes she will one day remember.. The perfume you wore. The days out to the cinema. Having snowball fights in winter. Picnics in the summer holidays. How you lovingly plaited her hair. NOT the fat stomach, the cellulite, the stretchmarks that you see, or how awful you feel after a "cheat day" or a day you missed the gym. Change your words to "eating healthily" and "eating nutritious food", exercising to be "stronger" and "healthier" instead of diet diet diet and using exercise to punish your body. Because she is listening. She is watching. She is taking it all in. And she will remember... everything #MindfulMonday #WarriorOfGlobalHealth #HealThySelf #HealthyMind #HealthyBody #StopDieting #IHaveAPlan #ItsNotADiet #AskMeHow #PmMe

Remember that the vaccine schedule we follow has been well evaluated and tested for safety, timeliness and effectiveness. Waiting to give vaccines only leaves our children at risk for some very serious but preventable illnesses.
