I typically supervise in the clinic on M-W and am often available in between clinic sessions. Some "typical" office hour times are Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons. However I travel extensively, work from home on occasion and am also frequently pulled into student meetings. I am also in other clinical rooms, offices and labs at any given time and am thus often not sitting at my desk. It is best to e-mail me a request to meet!
