Coronavirus FAQ’s

Not sure if to come in?

Call the office as you usually would for an appointment, and we will discuss with you if telemedicine is appropriate.  This feature is available during weekday office hours (8:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday through Friday).

What is the office doing to keep families safe?

We are mostly seeing well visits at this time.  Sick patients are seen via telemedicine or outside the office.  Every room is cleaned after each visit and thoroughly disinfected throughout the day.   At the end of each day, the entire office is re-disinfected by a professional cleaning company.

What to expect at your scheduled visit?

Check-in from your car!  Call us from the parking lot so we can escort you directly to a room upon arrival. Adults and children over 2 are required to wear masks. We ask that one caregiver attend the appointment.
