I am widely available for virtual office visits. Please email me to arrange a time that works for you. You will need access to a webcam (audio/video) for virtual appointments. Most computers have them built in; however, you can purchase external webcams at most retail locations. Many phones also have webcam capabilities, if you don't have a functioning webcam on your computer.
