Coronavirus: Vaccines, Testing, And Practice Changes
Coronavirus Vaccine
We have COVID vaccine for all patients!
Coronavirus Testing
We have COVID-19 PCR testing available! If your child is ill and in need of physician services or otherwise needs a COVID-19 PCR test please schedule an appointment and one of our providers will see you.
Practice Changes
Well child visits are very important and will continue year round. These visits include important developmental, academic, and mental health screening, monitoring of growth, a thorough physical examination, vision and hearing screening, routine blood work, and vaccinations. If your child is due for a well-baby exam, a check-up, or a sports physical, please call to schedule.
We are also available to see patients for many other needs. We are generally scheduling appointments in-person unless there has been direct contact with a COVID+ individual. For those who have had direct contact with a COVID+ individual we will schedule a telemedicine visit and then if that patient needs to be seen in-person, we will see the patient later in the afternoon on the same day in a designated “isolation” room. We also have telemedicine appointments available for other concerns.
Other office policies instituted during the pandemic to reduce viral exposures of our patients, their families, and our staff:
- We ask that all sick patients coming into our office wear a face-covering or mask that covers the nose, mouth, and chin. Please, no mask with valves.
- Our staff will wear masks for all interactions with sick patients. Additional protective equipment includes gloves, gowns, and face shields as needed.
- Providers continue to wash their hands frequently and sanitize their stethoscopes and other medical equipment after each patient encounter.
- We continue our practice of thorough room cleaning between all patient visits, frequent cleaning of common areas, and professional cleaning of the entire office at the end of each day.
We thank all of our families for their cooperation.
