Announcements
We are screening all patients by phone before scheduling an appointment to determine what precautions need to be taken. If a patient is suspected of having COVID19 symptoms they will be seen in their car at the front of the building. In addition we are shifting our well patients and newborns to the morning to separate from our sick patients.
- We are scheduling Telemed visits for symptoms that can be diagnosed through video/audio. For these visits make sure you are connected to your wi-fi and your video and audio are enabled.
- When possible we prefer one caregiver and one child for all visits.
- Everyone over 3 years old must wear a mask when entering the office and if seen in the car. For children under the age of 3 who won't wear a mask,please have them in their stroller and covered so they are protected.
- If any person (caregivers included) has been exposed to COVID19 or has any symptoms please do not enter our building and call our office prior to your appointment.
Thank you for doing your part to keep everyone safe. (Refusal to comply by caregivers will result in termination from our practice.)
Many of our families are understandably concerned about the coronavirus/COVID-19 and have been asking us varied questions. Concern is appropriate, panic is not.
