How long is your wait list?

Our wait list varies and depends on a number of factors. If there is a lot of testing required prior to your appointment, it may take longer to get in to see our team.

However, one of our primary goals is to reduce wait times for patients with all cardio-metabolic conditions and we believe our clinic will do just that.
