Only people who are there to help ambulate or translate wait in the waiting room and follow the patients into the exam rooms.  

Our staff has been instructed to ask who enters the office if they have had a cough, fever, fatigue, or any cold symptoms.   If you are experiencing any of these symptoms.  Please do not come to the office.  The staff is happy to reschedule for a later date.

  • You have had close contact with anyone known to have tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 14 days.

Please consider rescheduling your routine 6 month or annual exam; if you are not experiencing any symptoms.  You should NOT reschedule urgent problem visits. OR planned injections. 

Health maintenance is an important part of our mission. However, we are mindful of social distancing guidelines and we are happy to accommodate requests to reschedule routine visits. 

We are making every extra effort to clean and sanitize our waiting rooms, patient check-in areas, and examination rooms after every patient for patients who need to come into the office during this time. 

Please do not bring any sick visitors with you to our office.

Please understand that our providers and staff will also be following social distancing guidelines whenever possible during your visit. We can all work together to prevent spread of germs by washing hands, utilizing hand sanitizer, and avoiding handshakes and hug in the offices.
