Covid-19 Update
Our physicians and staff have all been fully vaccinated. However, in accordance with current CDC and Virginia Department of Health guidelines, all patients, visitors and staff members must continue to wear a mask while visiting any type of healthcare facility. This policy ensures that we can continue to protect both our unvaccinated and immunocompromised patients.
Our office has resumed normal business hours
Mondays – Thursdays 8:00 am – 4:00 pm
The following the changes and protocols remain in place:
Patient appointments will be spaced out to reduce the number of individuals in the office at one time and allow for more thorough cleaning and disinfection of the treatment areas between patients.
If you arrive early for your appointment, we ask that you wait in your vehicle until your scheduled appointment time and/ or call the front desk (434.979.0728) to see if we can accommodate you earlier.
We ask that all adult patients over the age 18 please present to the visit unaccompanied to reduce the number of visitors seated in the waiting area or treatment rooms.
Patients under the age of 18 will be allowed one adult companion in the treatment area. Siblings will not be allowed to wait in the office.
Thank you for your cooperation and your continued committment in helping us to keep our community safe as we continue to progress through this pandemic.
What's New!
Do you have a ballet dancer in your family? Did you know that Dr. Heather Snyder is the Medical Director for the Charlottesville Ballet? She is a current member of the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science and has been specifically trained to perform pre-pointe assessments. Dr. Snyder will assess postural stability, strength, flexibility and perform a radiologic assessment of your dancer to determine if she can safely dance on pointe.
Please note that a new electronic security system has been installed on our office building and the doors do not open (automatically) until after 8AM. If you arrive earlier for your 8AM appointment, please call use at 434-979-0728 so we can let you in!
Also note that our office will be closed from Thursday Sept 2nd through Tuesday Sept 7th for Labor Day weekend.... and to move our kids into college, etc. We respectfully ask that you contact your primary care physician for any urgent issues during this brief period (as to lessen the burden on our local Emergency Departments.) Thank you and have a safe holiday weekend!
