We will resume scheduling elective procedures on 5/4/20.

Everyone entering the facility must:

  • answer screening questions at time of scheduling, registration, and upon arrival.
  • wear a covering over their mouth and nose (mask, scarf, bandana) while in the office.
  • have their temperature checked upon arrival.

We are taking proactive steps to address a number of concerns related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19), including patient screenings, enhanced environmental cleaning, limiting visitors, and offering a telemedicine appointment option. First and foremost, we want to maintain a safe environment for our patients and employees.

Coronavirus Screenings: All patients will be screened using the following questions:

  • Have you traveled to China, South Korea, Japan, Italy, or Iran in the past 14 days?
  • Have you been in contact with someone under investigation for, or with a confirmed case of COVID-19 (2019 Novel Coronavirus)?
  • Do you currently have a fever?
  • Do you currently have symptoms of lower respiratory illness(e.g. cough or shortness of breath)?

If you answered YES to any of the questions above please stay home and call our office to discuss rescheduling your appointment or to allow us to identify an alternate setting for your care: 540-654-9118.
