Our office will be re-opening Friday May, 1st 2020 for in-person visits!

 

The following precautions will remain in effect indefinitely to ensure the safety of our patients and staff:

  • Patients will call the office upon arrival to check in from the parking lot and will remain in their car until instructed to enter building for appointment.
  • Masks are to be worn by anyone entering the building. Our office will not be supplying masks to patients due to the limited number available to us.

  • Patients are asked to not bring guests to appointments.
  • Patient co-pay will be collected prior to appointment over the phone.
  • Patients will be asked to wash hands upon entering exam rooms and will have their temperature taken. A patient with a  temperature above 100.0 will not be seen and will be asked to reschedule.
  • Patients will not be checked out in-office, but instead will be called following their appointment to schedule follow-ups.
  • Telehealth appointments will continue to be suggested for appropriate appointment visit types to limit exposure.
