How we are protecting you and our staff
At any of our offices, no visitors are permitted to accompany patients, except when needed to help with care. If you feel you need help during your appointment, contact your provider’s office to ask whether you may have one healthy person over the age of 18 join you.
If someone drives you to your appointment, unless they are an approved companion, they will not be permitted to wait for you inside the lobby. They must wait for you outside the building until your appointment is complete.
All patients under 18 must have one healthy parent or guardian accompany them to outpatient appointments.
When entering any of our offices, all patients and visitors are required to complete a health screening, which may include having your temperature checked and answering some questions about your health and any recent travel. Any visitor who is sick, has a high risk of prior exposure or has traveled from a high-risk geographical area will not be permitted to enter our offices under any circumstances.
To help maintain a healthy environment, we are requiring all patients and visitors to wear a face covering or mask at all times. We ask that you bring your own face covering or mask to wear. If you do not have a face covering, we will provide one.
