Length of your visit

Please allow 1-2 hours for your consultation. However, no two patient visits are exactly the same and we will spend as much time as needed to ensure appropriate assessment and understanding of your care. In order to have the most efficient consultation, we will sometimes ask for you to do some medical testing prior to the clinical visit. Please budget additional time for these required tests.
