  • Weekend appointments and appointments after 5 p.m. are available for emergencies and acutely ill established patients.
  • On weekends, we open and begin scheduling appointments at 8 a.m., and the office closes at 12 noon or after the last scheduled appointment (whichever comes first).
  • All patients must have an appointment to be seen.
  • On the weekends and after 5 p.m., there will be a convenience fee billed to your insurance. If the fee is not covered by your insurance, you may be responsible.
