In an effort to help control the spread of COVID19 and protect the health of our patients and staff, we will be temporarily limiting the seating in the lobby of each office location to adhere to social distancing recommendations and will be requriing that masks be worn while in the office.  

We are also encouraging our patients to hold off on allergy injections during this time, if possible.  Or to reach out to our office with regard to allergy drops that can be given at home.  

If you do choose to come for your injection, due to the social distancing, please be advised that when you arrive at our office, if all seating is taken, we may have to ask that you wait outside until seating becomes available, at which time we will be able to administer your injection.

We also ask that you come alone or with as few family members as possible. 

Thank you for your understanding that these measures have been put in place to protect you and prevent the spread of the virus.
