Important COVID19 related updates – please read the following information about changes we are making in our office to ensure the safety and health of our patients.
The American Academy of Pediatrics is NOT recommending that well child visits and vaccinations be stopped at this time, and we continue to offer ALL well child examinations.
We have made the following changes to our office schedule:
We are now separating our office hours into Well and sick blocks. We are scheduling WELL CHILD, mental health, and other non-infectious visits during the first 2 hours of the morning, and the first 2 hours of the afternoon. Please be understanding if we need to reschedule your child’s previously scheduled appointment.
We are cleaning the exam rooms with hospital-grade disinfectant between patients and prior to starting afternoon well appointments.
Please note the following additional recommendations for in-office visits:
1. We request that only one parent accompany the patient to the office when possible.
2. We request that NO siblings without an appointment enter the office whenever possible.
3. NO parent who is sick with cough, fever, or shortness of breath should enter the office under any circumstances.
When parents arrive at the office, please WAIT IN YOUR CAR and call the office appointment line to let them know you are here. You will be called when there is a room available and sent straight to that room. Please be patient as this change is slowing down our flow a bit and please be prepared for a bit of a wait. We do not recommend showing up more than 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment time.
We are now offering Telehealth visits. There are certainly some issues that can be handled very well over a video visit; however remember the “examination” is very limited so there will be times that your doctor may recommend an in-person follow up visit. Stay tuned for more info about this.
