COVID-19 UPDATE
During this time of social distancing needed due to the COVID-19 Virus, we want our patients to know that South Hills Eye Associates is open daily, for emergent and urgent issues, with limited hours at our Mt Lebanon office.
We want our patients to stay safe and healthy as this virus pandemic progresses. Since some minor issues may be handled through telemedicine with virtual visits over Skype or FaceTime or telephone consultations, we are making virtual visits available for these issues.
We do bill the insurance for these services. Please call our office at 412-561-1964 to arrange a phone or telemedicine physician encounter.
If you have an urgent matter, during the hours that we are not in the office, please call the on-call doctor at 412-572-5222.
Please stay safe and healthy!
