Now Offering Continuous Glucose Monitoring
We are pleased to now offer state-of-the-art Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) for patients.
CGM is a way to measure glucose levels in real-time throughout the day and night. A tiny electrode called a glucose sensor is painlessly inserted under the skin in your abdomen in our office.

You’ll return within three to seven days for removal of the device.
