Let's talk about Time For Your Annual Check-up… One of the many interruptions that COVID-19 has caused over the year is the annual check-up. A recent Time Magazine Poll noted that 78% of people responded with postponing at least one medical service with over 27% reporting that they had skipped out on their annual check-ups. These are some disheartening facts especially knowing that many people simply won't just pick up & remember to go back for their visit.
