Clinic Services

Diabetes care is offered through a team of endocrinologists, an ophthalmologist, an optometrist, a registered dietitian, a care ambassador, and a medical assistant. The care ambassador provides personalized service to our patients- scheduling patient appointments and handling prescriptions, and serves as a liason between our patients and the clinic.
