As always, the office will be closed on Thanksgiving and the next day.  This is to allow my staff and their families ample time to spend together (and to shop on Friday no doubt!).  

However, we're going to do something different this year in December.  I'm closing the office between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day.  I will be seeing patients through December 23rd, and the office will be closed until 8:45am on January 2nd.  

I have made this decision for a whole host of reasons, one of which is the fact that with the holidays falling as they do, we won't have much patient contact time then anyway.  

We will be putting reminders about this into our billing statements starting in mid November.  If you have vision care benefits or flex account funds that you need to use by the end of the year, please plan accordingly.

I will of course be available to handle any ocular emergencies that come up during that time, just call the office on our regular line and you will be directed or connected to me.
