"A quick note to let you know that Dr xxxx's schedule is completely booked until the end of December.

You are welcome to reach her thru Ava Connect to see if your questions can be answered virtually and/or she can help you navigate your healthcare options.
"Dr xxxxx will be working part-time at the clinic for the next few years. Her typical days at the clinic are Mondays and Tuesdays. This will allow her to be more present with her young family.

Some days there are available appointments with other providers, but you will need to call the clinic @ 403-443-5522 to check.
