As we all continue to adjust to life with COVID-19, please remember these services we can offer you!
We are currently offering Telehealth Visits for many acute and chronic problems. These “virtual visits” can be billed to Medicare and/or your insurance just like an in-person visit. Patients are not required to download any software or apps. Most smartphones, tablets, and laptops are compatible with the service.
Telehealth Visit Directions:
We continue to offer Curbside Waiting for all patients who wish to use it. This allows patients to call us from their cars when they arrive at the office and wait inside their car until an exam room is available for them. Our staff then calls the patient to come inside, bypassing the check-in desk and triage area, to go directly to their exam room. We continue to practice extensive infection control measures including disinfecting exam rooms, common areas, and the waiting room per current guidelines.
Monday – Friday: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Routine physical exams are an important part of maintaining good health. At a typical wellness exam, Dr. Bowers will review your medical history and any medications you take, make sure you are up to date on preventative tests and vaccinations, and perform a complete physical exam. Our staff will also complete any documentation that may be required by your insurance company. Dr. Bowers has completed the required National DOT Examiner Certification process and can perform physicals for all drivers who require a medical exam to maintain their commercial driver’s license.
We have extensive training and experience treating children of all ages. We provide all aspects of pediatric care from acute illnesses to complete well child examinations. At your child’s well exam, we will provide all age-appropriate vaccinations as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control. We also follow current national recommendations for developmental screenings including specific screenings for autism at 18 and 24 months.
Helping our patients manage their chronic medical problems is our specialty. We will work with you to monitor lab levels as well as recommend dietary and lifestyle changes. When prescription medications are necessary to treat your condition, we will help you adjust dosages to get maximum results.
Vaccines are an important tool to help prevent illnesses. We stock high quality vaccinations for patients of all ages, and we can help you and your family get all recommended vaccines at the appropriate time.
