Guidelines and Tips for Modified Curbside Service at our Highland, IN Location
At this time, we will continue providing a modified curbside service at our Highland location. Due to the high number of hospitalized patients, we have had to convert 3 of our exam rooms into patient care suites. With the exception of end-of-life procedures, we simply do not have the space to invite everyone into our clinic.
With that being said, we should have a larger facility by the end of this year, and are eager to welcome everyone inside for face-to-face consultations at that point.
