$25 charge. Please allow us 7-10 business days to process your paperwork. The reception desk can
help you with your request.
Vitamin D is much more than a bone vitamin. It is crucial to many of our tissues and organs. Some of
these include the brain, breast tissue, colon, heart and lungs as well as our immune cells. There are
three ways to get Vitamin D: sunlight, foods (fortified milk, oily fish (tuna, salmon, etc)), or with daily
supplements. Daily recommendations are from 800-1000 units daily. Five to ten minutes of direct
sunlight between 10AM & 3PM will supply 3000 units which is stored in the body and released over time.

All of our providers continue to accept new patients. Please contact our office for more specific
instructions in order to become a new patient.

free to discuss it with your provider on your next visit.
