A Patient's Story

A patient contacted a staff member to express her gratitude towards the staff for the help her husband was able to receive during this time of uncertainty. He contacted the clinic one morning with complaints of tooth pain. After triage by our wonderful dental staff, he was able to complete a telehealth visit with Nurse Practitioner Susan Walkley and receive the medications needed. The patient was very pleased with how smooth the entire process was given the circumstances.
