Patients are screened for Covid-19 symptoms at the time they request an appointment.  Patients will be asked screening questions relating to their symptoms. If a screening question is marked “Yes” to any Covid 19 screening question, the appointment will be converted to a Telemedicine Visit.

Patients will once again be screened for Covid-19 symptoms when they arrive to the office for their scheduled appointment.  Their temperature will also be taken. If  ‘Yes” is selected for any Covid-19 screening question, the patient will be asked to leave the office and the appointment will  converted to a Telemedicine visit.

Patients should call the office and advise if any symptoms have developed since the time they initially scheduled an appointment and the day of the appointment.  Patients will not be seen in office if they have any of the Covid-19 symptoms listed on out screening form.

A patient’s individual circumstances will be evaluated by their provider to determine if they should be scheduled for in-office appointment or if their care needs could be handled through a Telemedicine Appointment.

Our policy restricts visitors to reduce the number of people in our office and, therefore, the risk of exposure between patients, visitors and staff.

You are asked not to bring anyone with you for your appointment unless it is absolutely necessary. We understand this can be difficult and appreciate your understanding. If it is necessary to have someone with you during your office visit, their temperature will be taken before entering our office. Please inform us, prior to your arrival, if someone will be accompanying you to your office visit.
