Our office is equipped with an X-Ray machine, EMG machine, complex laboratory and minimally invasive procedure suite. These accommodations provide our patients with convenience and speed of care in the safest and most appropriate setting.
The office will be closed the next couple of weeks as a precautionary measure to limit potential spread of COVID -19. In order to provide continuity of care during this period, patients will need to be evaluated through an interactive live audio and video telecommunication on their originally scheduled days. The office will be contacting you to give you the teleconference link. You can use the link on a computer or cell phone with camera and internet connection. We will continue to receive/retrieve phone messages so do not hesitate to call the office at 859-523-5300 if you have questions.
