Expanded hours

The specific Saturday office hour availabilities vary by location, but patients can visit ENTA”™s website entandallergy.com/hours.php to identify the office most convenient to them.
“Saturday hours serve the needs of those patients whose work schedules do not allow for weekday appointments,” said WAYNE EISMAN, M.D., president of ENTA.
“Typically only urgent care centers and hospital emergency rooms are open on Saturdays,” added CEO ROBERT GLAZER, “but we wanted to ensure that our patients have the choice of seeing one of our specialists as well. So, if you have the need, our physicians and staff stand ready to help.”
