As you may know, I have been on maternity leave since December, after the birth of my daughter.  I will return to seeing patients on a very limited basis beginning in April, and then to my normal hours in the 2nd week of September.   

The good news is that in September, I'll be adding one evening per week, to accommodate working parent requests.  I am scheduled for long days on Tuesdays and Fridays. 

The demands of my family require my extended time away from the office, and I am fortunate that the rest of the providers at CMO are here to take good care of my patients.  Please rest assured that we work together as a team and do our very best to coordinate your child's care.

Many of you have already booked appointments with me April to August, based on my previous schedule. Your appointment may need to be rescheduled, either to one of my limited days in the office, or with another provider.  You also have the option of requesting a "team" of two providers to share primary care, or switching to another CMO primary provider.  Sometimes, matching a family and provider schedule works best to achieve consistent care.

If your April-August appointment needs to be rescheduled, our front desk staff will be contacting you in the month of April.  We are currently coordinating my available summer dates, and I truly appreciate your patience.   

I will not be available by email or call-in hours until September.  Please refer to www.chmed.com for alternative provider availability to answer your non-urgent clinical questions and concerns.
