We are all enjoying the sunshine this summer! Whether you are at the beach or boating on the lake, summer fun usually involves being outside. However, you can't forget your family's sunscreen! The American Academy of Dermatology recommends that all kids - regardless of skin tone - wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Make sure you're protected from the sun while you make memories with your family!

We love to see great reviews! If you had an exceptional experience with our providers, or received above-average care from a staff member, let us know! You can review us on Facebook or Google (https://g.page/r/CQJwg_cdAjQ8EAg/review).

We hope our patients and their family have a wonderful Valentines Day!

Did you know research shows that children laugh up to 300 times per day? This is a far cry from the average 17.5 times a day adults laugh! Take a hint from your kids this weekend and find something to laugh about! Laughing relieves stress, can improve your immune system, and increase your satisfaction with life. Sounds like a win to us!

We are jumping for joy because it's Friday! Even though it's the weekend, make sure you and your family continue to take precautions to protect yourself from COVID and other viruses. Social distance, wear your mask, and wash your hands!

Valentine's Day is coming up, and we all way to celebrate our families! Here are some great ideas to show your children how much you love them on Valentines Day or every single day!

Have questions about the COVID vaccine? These Piedmont doctors have answers! Watch and feel free to share with your friends and family.

We are proud of our own Dr. Cheek, Dr. Heiss, and Dr. McWhirter for being some of the first in our area to receive the COVID-19 vaccination! Thank you for being an example to others to get the vaccine!

New research shows that more than half of all COVID-19 cases are spread by infected people without any symptoms. Wear a mask, wash your hands, and stay 6 feet from otherseven if you’re feeling well. Learn more in JAMA Network Open: https://bit.ly/3oKknBF.
