New Electronic Medical Record System

         With our new electronic medical record system, we will have easier access to your information during office hours and after hours.
 
Vaccine Shortages
         Some vaccines (chickenpox, hepatitis A and Hemophilus influenza B - HiB) are still in short supply and may need to be delayed for awhile but the good news is that influenza vaccine is here and no shortages are expected for this year. So, call to schedule your influenza vaccine (shot or intranasal mist) as soon as possible.
