If you receive your medication by injection, you will need to come to the office in the usual manner. You will receive the normal reminder calls.  When you arrive at the office, you will be asked to go to the third floor waiting room, which will be empty.  The nurse, who is masked and gloved, will then have you enter the room and will immediately complete the injection. You will then proceed to the Registration Desk and schedule the next appointment.
