  • On weekends and holidays, please call the office between 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. to be seen for a same-day urgent visit.
  • Please do not use MyChart messages for urgent matters. Messages sent after 5 p.m. on Friday will generally not be seen until Monday morning.
  • Holiday Schedule:
    • Christmas Eve: Office closes at noon
    • Christmas Day: Closed
    • New Years Eve: Office closes at noon
    • New Years Day: Open in the morning for sick visits only

Missed Appointments

We understand that life gets busy and managing schedules can be a challenge. However, missed appointments or late cancellations prevent other patients from utilizing those valuable time slots. Starting January 1, 2025, a $50 fee will be charged for missed appointments or cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice. For missed appointments at the Wellness Center, the fee will remain $100. For more details, please refer to the attached Financial Policy.
