If you are having symptoms such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath please reschedule your appointment by calling or messaging through our patient portal. Please continue to practice good hand washing and hygiene as well as social distancing as recommended.
Our physicians and office staff continue to monitor the Covid-19 situation closely and understand that new information arrives daily.
Our goal remains to provide the best care to all of our patients. We continue to implement strategies to achieve this goal of patient care while being mindful of pandemic precautions. At all of our offices we continue to:
- Frequently disinfect all contact surfaces
- Removal of unnecessary surfaces that present unique risks to the spread of contagion (i.e. toys, magazines, coffee makers)
- Pre-screening phone calls for patients and rescheduling appointments if symptomatic
- Masking and isolation of any patient demonstrating symptoms consistent with COVID-19
- Temperature screening upon arrival to clinic
- Maintaining social distancing recommendations in our waiting rooms and infusion areas
We have also implemented telehealth visits for any patients who would prefer to not have an in-person visit.
