SEE BELOW FOR CORONAVIRUS PRECAUTIONS:

ALL PATIENTS WITH APPOINTMENTS AT OUR MAIN OFFICE

In an effort to further ensure the health and safety of our patients, we are taking the following precautions:

Upon entering the main office entrance, our lobby will be divided into two sections.

The right side will be for patients coming in for: well visits, check up/follow up appointments, annual wellness physicals, etc.

The left side will be for patients coming in for any type of sick visit: fever, cough, shortness of breath, GI issues, etc.

We are now offering patients the option to wait in your vehicle until you are called for your appointment. When you arrive at the office, come sign-in at the front desk, write your phone number on the sign in strip and we will call you when it is time to be seen by your Provider.

Masks are available at the front desk. We attempted to place them right as you enter the office but had to move their location due to patients taking multiple masks as they were leaving.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance with this matter!

PLEASE NOTE:

WE DO NOT HAVE TESTING KITS ON-SITE FOR THE CORONAVIRUS. TESTING CAN ONLY BE PERFORMED AT CERTAIN DESIGNATED FACILITIES.
