CHECKOUT

• Observe social distancing best practices. Please be patient as we will be limited to 2 patients checking out a front desk at a time.
• If you prefer we help you make a payment over the phone (provide credit card in advance of treatment) or you can “pre-write” checks at home, to facilitate a quick check-out and avoid crowding at the front desk.
