​Important Information Regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The novel Coronavirus named COVID-19 originated in Wuhan City, China and has now spread throughout the world. We are asking our families to learn about this very contagious virus and follow guidelines to protect yourself, your family, and the community from getting the virus and spreading it to others.

New Office Hours in Response to COVID-19

We have adjusted our schedules, appointment protocols and check-in and check-out procedures to ensure our patients are seen safely to minimize possible exposure to COVID-19 infection. It is very important that every child continue to follow the recommended schedule for Well Child Checks so we can deliver preventive care and administer immunizations in a timely manner.  Some well visits will be done as a video visit. Sick visits will be scheduled as a telemedicine or video visit or in the office as the situation dictates. 
 
We request that only one healthy adult accompany the child to the appointment and one child per visit. Children 2 years of age and older and the adult accompanying the child must wear a mask upon entering the office.
 
It is very important that children coming in for a Well Child Visit are truly well-no fever, cough, runny nose, congestion, vomiting or diarrhea. If your child is sick please cancel the appointment. Send a Portal Message or call the office if you need medical advice. 
 
Please understand this is a very fluid situation and subject to change. We will continue to communicate through the PATIENT PORTAL and social media. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
​Our office hours have temporarily changed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic:

​Monday             7:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Tuesday             7:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
