COVID-19 Office Protocol

While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety. Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office.

We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies’ recommendations. Please contact us at (910) 577-1315 if you have any questions or concerns.
