COVID-19 (coronavirus) Patient Information

Mask Policy

Our first concern is everyone’s safety. The CDC eased indoor mask guidance, now relying on how COVID-19 is affecting a community’s healthcare system, rather than transmission rates alone, as a guide for mask recommendations. Masks are optional when visiting our clinics based on your preference. You may request that your doctor and/or care team wear a mask if you wish.

Appointments

Appointments can be scheduled by calling (843) 664-9393 or booked online. Please remember that all appointments will continue to follow our COVID-19 pre-screening guidelines referenced above.
