Due to this sudden change in our available methods of communication, hold times may be longer than expected. Recent inquiries or requests made via text may go unfulfilled since we no longer have access to that system. We ask that you resubmit your request through the Patient Portal until texting is once again possible.

We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. A more simple and user-friendly platform will soon be implemented for two-way texting; Patients will be informed as soon as this is ready. For now, we ask for your patience while we do our best to navigate this recent change and continue to provide the best care possible. Updates will be provided on our website and through the Patient Portal as they become available.
