be starting to resume routine care for patients whose appointments were
postponed. In accordance with guidelines issued by Governor Pritzker,
starting May 11th, 2020 we will begin scheduling appointments
for our patients who were rescheduled. This will be done while continuing to
maintain a safe environment with recommended social distance regulations.
