Urgent Care

We are temporarily offering telemedicine visits for all patients at this time of COVID-19 health crisis to limit human-to-human contact if there is concern of being infected, or you have already been exposed. Just request an online appointment which will be a video chat format. Our practitioners will still be seeing patients in office as long as it’s appropriate.

 Think of us next time for urgent care visit which is centered around injury and illness that is immediate but not emergent.  We have nurse practitioners on staff as well as naturopathic doctors who are trained to address the common health issues that can happen to all of us from time-to-time.  This is for all ages.
