IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit. In an effort to devote our full attention to patient treatment, we ask that patients make childcare arrangements prior to all appointments. If you are unable to find child care, our patient care coordinator can reschedule your appointment to a more convenient time.
