We have made (or attempted to make) contact with all of our patients multiple times during this pandemic.
We review charts daily and have tried to keep you all on track with routine labs and imaging, and discuss with you how you feel comfortable doing so.
For patients that require an in person visit (vaccinations, physical exams for surgeries, etc), we are scheduling appointments on Wednesdays. Visits are staggered to avoid contact with other patients. I often administer vaccinations in your car to avoid exposure to my office.
Occasionally we must see patients who are unable to mask for various reasons, they are generally seen at the end of the day to give us time to decontaminate our office/air prior to the next visit.
We then have 6 days after these patient exposures for us to manifest symptoms (hopefully not) prior to seeing the next batch of patients the following week.
These visits are appropriate for patients with general health concerns and chronic disease management, as well as checkup calls.
DID YOU KNOW? We typically receive more than 35 phone calls/texts daily, make more than 20 outgoing calls daily, and respond to 10-20 emails daily! We love communicating with our patients!
We are a small office. These protocols are crucial for our staff and patients to remain healthy. If we get sick, we will be unable to care for you.
