We are fortunate to secure the services Dr. Finer, because he is one
of the very few men in this country to master this New Technique.
Examinations will be made by appointment only. A call to this office
will secure your appointment and arrange for your examination.
This is the only chance that people of this County will have to secure
this service at home, and as only a limited number of examinations
be made, appointments should be made early.
Remember that an appointment must be made in
advance to secure this service.
