In our office we are stepping up cleaning protocols and procedures, and request the following help from you:
– If you or your child has a fever, please cancel your appointment and contact your primary care doctor.
– When you come to the office, please come accompanied with as few people as possible.
– We love seeing whole families when you come in! But in the current situation, for the health and safety of our patients and community, we request that only one guardian accompany the child.
We understand it can be difficult to find childcare arrangements for your other children, and we thank you for making an effort to do so.
