You may be wondering about x-rays and lab work. With today’s technology, most x-rays, lab work and blood draws can be done right in your home. How often will you receive medical house calls? Frequency depends on your needs. Your initial visit may last an hour and subsequent visits may take 30-45 minutes. Our staff focuses on the care, not the clock.
