At this time, we are taking the initiative to suspend all non-urgent appointments and elective surgeries at Petoskey Ear, Nose and Throat Specialists to encourage the new “stay home, stay safe” executive order. We will continue to be available to patients who require active care or have urgent issues. We are now providing telemedicine for those in need as an alternative to coming to the office in person. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions at this time or to schedule a telemedicine appointment 231-487-3277. We will have someone checking messages daily, please stay safe and healthy!
