Announcement

Dear patients, friends and community members:

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the interest of the safety and well-being of patients and staff, effective 4/1/2020 we will be transitioning to a 100% telemedicine-based practice. We are temporarily suspending office visits for consultations or follow ups. This change will stay in effect for the next 30 days and possibly longer depending on how the situation plays out on the ground.

During this time we will continue to conduct virtual office visits online through a secure web application. Patients will require a smartphone or laptop and an internet connection. No special equipment or device is required. We are able to see both new and existing patients through this system.

New or existing patients can schedule virtual appointments by one of three methods
1) Call us at 540-908-2100. Leave a voice message with your name, and contact information
2) Send an email to info@shifainstitute.com
3) Go to our web portal link below

Thank you for your patience during these difficult times. We pray that you and your family stay safe and healthy!

I am an optimistic person. But it seems rather clear at this point in time that the COVID-19 viral pandemic will become much worse before it gets better.

Join the Direct-care Revolution

Direct-care is about strengthening the relationship between doctors and patients. Its about cutting the "red-tape" and removing the middle-men who are profiting off the backs of patients and their physicians.

The direct-care revolution is taking the country by storm. Its doctors and patients taking back control of a healthcare system hijacked by insurance companies and large corporations.
