    In their words

    How we protect you (and ourselves) whether you are new or established: Unorthodoc has been set up to do remote visits for 5 years. During the pandemic, we've been in the physical office a few times a week to handle things we can’t do remotely. Many of those visits can still be done from the car. When we must bring people into the office, we bring in only one person/family at a time and decontaminate our surfaces between patients. We meet you in the parking lot and escort you…
