Flu season is here, and getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones! 🤧💪

While seniors are at higher risk for severe complications, flu vaccines are recommended for everyone, children, adults, and older adults alike. Vaccination helps reduce the risk of infection, prevents the spread of the virus, and keeps your immune system ready to fight off the flu.

Stay healthy this season and talk to your healthcare provider about getting your flu shot. Your protection matters! 🌿🩺

Hi all, Dr. Gupta here! As holidays are approaching and everyone’s stress levels are rising, I wanted to let you know that I recently started offering *insurance covered* osteopathic treatment for back pain, neck and shoulder pain, headaches and more. The OMT clinic is an add-on to my family practice clinic but you don’t have to be a patient and can come in just for OMT. The idea is very similar to a massage therapist or chiropractor but with more evidence-based techniques.

I take Cigna, anthem and Aetna but my out of network prices are very reasonable (esp compared to what you’d probably pay a massage therapist or chiropractor).
