Dear Parents:
We understand your concerns for the safety and health of your child in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic. We are taking every measure possible to ensure an environment that minimizes potential exposure for both our patients and our staff. We will continue to schedule well child appointments. The vaccine schedule for older children allows some flexibility, but for those under age 3, administering vaccines according to the recommended schedule is critically important to your child’s health.
We are still scheduling sick appointments, but no longer accept any walk-ins. If you believe your child may have had an exposure to COVID-19, has shortness of breath, a cough, or high fever, please notify us. For your convenience, our switchboard opens at 8:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. You MUST call prior to being seen in our office. A nurse will assess your child’s symptoms and determine what type of appointment is necessary. Our waiting room is closed, so we ask you to call us when you arrive in the parking lot You and your child will wait in your vehicle until a private room is ready. A nurse will contact you by text then meet you in the waiting room to escort you to your room directly. Each room is sanitized in between patient visits to minimize risk of exposure.
Telemedicine appointments are available for you and your child to connect with a provider with a smartphone or computer with a camera. Please understand sometimes a face to face assessment is necessary, but when possible, we will try to take care of your child’s needs through this method of treatment.
We appreciate the trust you place in us every day, and we are doing all we can to provide high quality care for your children. We are all in this together, and as the needs of the community change, we’ll do our best to meet those needs.
