Dear patient,

As people practice social distancing in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency, we want you to know that your health is still a priority for us. We are implementing a telehealth program so that we may continue to serve our patients during this difficult time.

If you have healthcare needs in the coming weeks, including routine follow-up appointment, or even refilling for a prescription, please reach out to our office to schedule a virtual appointment. We will first screen to see if the visit can be completed remotely. Many of the services that we provide can be performed through audio or live audio-visual communications, such as FaceTime and Skype.

For visits that cannot be completed remotely, our clinic is now open for patients to be seen in the office. We are working to implement measures to maintain social distancing and keep everyone safe during this time.

·         Mandatory Masking– All patients and visitors are responsible to provide and wear their own mask upon entry. Pt will have to be rescheduled otherwise.

·         Isolation– Anyone with COVID-19 symptoms is isolated from waiting areas, patient rooms,. Entrances, and any spaces that the general population uses. No escorting members are allowed into the clinic with the patient, with the only exception being an essential caretaker.

·         Cleaning– Our teams are performing extra cleaning and disinfecting in all spaces.

·         Employee Screening– We’ve instituted mandatory employee temperature screenings before each shift.

Thank you for your cooperation, and please stay safe.

Regards,
