Lake Tahoe Basin & Virtual Care
For patients in the Lake Tahoe region, I maintain a satellite practice in Truckee, CA, where I provide in-person appointments one week out of the month. I also offer virtual appointments every Wednesday, making it easy for Tahoe-area and other CA location patients to stay connected to care between visits.
