This practice model offers time to schedule approximately 60 minutes for the Comprehensive Annual Health Assessment and approximately 30 minutes for routine appointments. If a problem requires extra time for evaluation, I will accommodate you to the best of my ability. Also, our communication will be enhanced through patient-dedicated cell phone and email.
