In order to see one of our specialty clinic doctors, you must first come to our regular clinic (Any Sunday, 10am - 2pm) and get a referral from one of our clinic doctors. You will then be called with an appointment for the specialty clinic. Note: we sometimes have waitlists for our clinics, so you may have to wait a few weeks to be seen. Each specialty clinic occurs about once a month.
Pediatric Services
We only have limited pediatric services, and we may not be able to see children under the age of 14 on many Sundays. If you wish to find out if we can see a pediatric patient on a clinic day, feel free to call our clinic, or stop by and ask one of our volunteers.
