Important information about COVID-19 for our patients
Over the past few months, there have been major changes in the community due to COVID-19. These changes have also impacted the ways we are all able to interact and access care. Keeping you in good health remains our number one priority. You can be confident that we will continue to provide top-of-the-line care while ensuring your safety in the office. We are taking appropriate precautions and implementing enhanced safety measures with your health in mind.
We encourage you to call the office to schedule or re-schedule your appointments. We assure you that our team is doing everything we can to embrace the “new normal” and support your healthcare needs. We would like you to keep the following information in mind. If you have any questions at all, we welcome you to call us. In an effort to keep our patients, families and staff healthy, we are implementing the following policies:
For gynecology patients:
- We are continuing to address all gynecologic complaints either by telemedicine visits or by seeing you in the office for urgent gynecology issues not amenable to telemedicine.
- Beginning May 1, 2020, to serve you better, we will be opening for a more normal schedule. Unless you cancel your appointment or are told of a cancelled appointment, assume that we are expecting you at your appointment time.
- We are wearing masks and ask that all patients follow CDC guidelines and wear masks throughout your visit (from your entry into the building to exit from building). We are taking extra precautions including disinfecting the office every 30 minutes to ensure our patients’
wellness. - To minimize exposure to COVID-19, we are scheduling patients at wide intervals to keep the waiting room relatively empty, and patients are asked to come alone to their appointments. This includes children.
For patients experiencing symptoms of illness, or exposed or potentially exposed to COVID-19:
- If you are experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms, have a fever, are currently coughing, sneezing, have shortness of breath or respiratory distress or have had close contact with anyone that has been ill, we ask that you make your visit a telemedicine visit or reschedule.
- If you or any relative or friend came from another state or city, you are welcome to schedule a telemedicine appointment.
- Patients with fever or difficulty breathing must contact their PCP and/or call the nearest ER for instructions.
We thank you for your cooperation and doing your part in helping to keep our patients and our staff healthy during this challenging time. Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions.
