The physicians and staff of UCPA are committed to providing our patients with safe and effective urologic care. During this time of national emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic we continue to be thoughtful in our clinical decisions when meeting the clinical care needs of our patients.
We are understanding of the unique needs of each individual patient and count on our patients to be active participants in their care.
MoreIn light of the COVID-19 situation, UCPA has successfully transitioned our patient appointments to video appointments. Telemedicine/Telehealth has been around for a while but has become widely used in the last couple of weeks and covered by all insurances.
