We offer Telehealth services.

Telehealth increases access to healthcare, while allowing you to reduce travel time/costs. More than anything, we’ve loved getting to offer care to folks that may not have otherwise received care. We ask that you have access to an electronic device that is compatible with Zoom for telehealth, along with a strong Wifi signal. Additionally, we encourage you to reserve a quiet, private area for all sessions. If needed, you may wear headphones to increase privacy. Insurance accepted: Aetna and Blue Cross Blue Shield of NC
