We understand that there is a lot of fear and uncertainty during this time. However, we can assure you that we care about taking the necessary steps to make sure our patients are as safe as possible while they are being treated at our clinic. For starters, we will only be allowing 10 patients in our clinic at a time, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control. This will limit the amount of people congregating in the same area at once and greatly decrease the risk of anyone passing any contagions to fellow patients. Additionally, we have a policy that patients as well as staff have to wear protective face masks. The clinic will be wiped down every half hour with a hospital grade disinfectant. For more information about our health practices for reopening, feel free to contact us with any questions you may have. If you have any questions, feel free to call us at 301.989.9040.

When we remodeled our facility, we endeavored to develop a clinic which is open and inviting. The color scheme and art work were included to encourage a safe-healing environment. Besides being beautiful it is extremely functional with 3200 square feet of clinical treatment area.
