I just wanted you all to know, my Desert Bloom peeps that you’re always in my heart and on my mind 💕

Hi everyone, I know it has been a long time since you’ve heard from me.

I wanted to share with you that I have officially retired this past summer for personal reasons, and some of you have known all that I’ve been through recently.

The decision was not easy and I have a heavy heart as I love and miss you all so much. You have brought me so much love and joy over the years and I want you to know you are truly missed in my life.

Some of you may feel as though I gave you so much of myself, which I did because I believe in loving people. But, most of you don’t realize how much you gave me back in return.

I had a career that I love and will always cherish, it has been my purpose in life.

I’m not sure how to turn the page on this next chapter, but I sure know it will be with all of you in my mind and in my heart.

Thank you for all the trust and love you have given me over the years, it is what has built me.

I wish you all the best life has to offer in health, wellness, and joy.

If you ever see me out and about, it would be wonderful to reconnect with you and a hug is always nice 😊.

All my gratitude and love ,
Amy 💕

Yes, I am back, just over a week now. My sister is recovering well, getting stronger every day! 😄
Just for reassurance to you it was NOT COVID related.

If you already have an appointment and want to change it to a telemed appointment call the office we can most likely accommodate it without a problem.

You can schedule ahead, there is no timeline or restrictions other than availability.

Take care, stay safe!

Good morning to you all. We continue to be available for in office visits if your concerns involving a physical exam ie. Knee injury.

We are also continuing telemedicine appointments for visits that may not need an actual physical exam ie. Medication refills, chronic condition check ups that need Med refills, labs or follow up as long as your conditions are stable. If you are unsure please just inquire- we DO NOT want you to run out of medications or not have your needs met.

Although telemedicine is not an in-office face to face visit we are still able to see you, speak with you and ask pertinent questions. We will walk you through the process.

We want to keep you safe, our associates safe and hopefully do our part in shutting down Covid-19 while providing you the care you need.

Wear your mask when you are out, if you are able but certainly watch your surroundings, keep distance , avoid close contact with people that are coughing and sneezing without regard to others, and when you are out DONT touch your face ( eyes, nose and mouth) lastly~ wash your hands frequently.

We will get through this- we are here!

I am sorry to have missed my “Sunday love notes to our patients “ yesterday. Today it is with sadness and some fear that I share with you that I am on a flight to Pennsylvania to stay with and take care of my twin sister Angel for a while.

I know this is a business page but over the years many of us have come to share our lives in small meaningful ways.... some of you have seen a pic or even met my twin Angel.

I ask for your love, your understanding and most importantly your prayers.

Nikki and our entire team are there for you and will be doing whatever possible to help you. Staci Cox is our manager.

I appreciate this time and our leadership to allow me to leave “no questions asked”.

If you have an immediate concern please call or ask centralized scheduling to get you to our office directly.

Love your DBFP family,

Mimi, Julie, Frances, Arlene, Rocio, and Brenda.
