You may see a few changes in the office, here are some updates:

• We removed books and bead gyms
• Our staff are wearing protective equipment for sick visits
• We are changing the process of how sick patents OR their sick family members enter the office. We will utilize the side entrance for sick visits to lessen the exposure of our well children to Covid 19.
• We request that minimal family members accompany all visits (ideally only one parent); we know this is not always an option but would like to decrease Covid 19 exposure to all.
• We will be separating rooms to be specific for well checks and others specific to sick visits.
• Our intent is to have only healthy patients/parents/families in our waiting room with sick entrance separate for less Covid exposure. If a child or parent is ill, then we recommend the well visit be postponed and the visit changed to a sick visit.
• We have an updated alert that is visible when you check out our homepage. It will share updates as we receive them and also includes a few informative links.
• We have our phone nurse available for questions.
• We are following the health department and CDC guidelines for Covid testing (which is minimal at this point and only if a direct Covid 19 test + exposure occurs or travel from severely affected travel locations); these recommendations will likely change with time.
