| Our office works by appointment because we recognize the value of your time and desire to serve you efficiently. Every effort is made to see our scheduled patients on time. Occasionally emergencies arise that may cause the delay of your appointment. We will make every effort to keep such delays to a minimum and will keep you informed of delays that occur. |
