Due to a current staff shortage, we are only able to accept phone calls between 9-12 and 1-4 Monday through Friday. We are unable to answer phones on Saturdays for the time being. We will update our clients as soon as we extend our phone line hours again. Clinic service hours remain the same.

Just a reminder that you can use our online booking portal for:

  • Birth/bleed control prescription renewals (pill, patch, or ring)
  • Routine STI screening (you do not have any active symptoms)
  • Cervical (pap) screening requests * please note this will be a telehealth appointment, your provider will speak with you about booking your pap exam following the consult

Thank you so much for your patience while we work hard to resolve our staffing shortage.
