Our Patients Say
COVID-19 UPDATE
Thank you for your patience with our office during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our office is fully open, and we will continue to see patients without delay and in the safest possible manner.
When appropriate, we encourage the use of telemedicine for new and existing patients. Please print and complete our website’s forms prior to your visit and then mail them to us so that we can see you as quickly as possible.
We keep the office waiting room clear of multiple patients and allow patients to remain in their cars, outside, or in the large lobby while waiting to be seen. When your appointment is ready, we are able to text or phone you while you wait. We thoroughly clean examination rooms following each patient visit. We wear masks and we ask that all persons visiting our office wear masks as well.
Per State and County guidelines, we screen all employees and patients with a standard COVID-19 questionnaire. If you have a current or recent fever, chills, cough, sore throat, or other cold-like symptoms, then please let us know before your appointment, so that we can determine if we need to delay any in-person visit. The same recommendation applies if you are currently or have recently been exposed to someone who is ill or is COVID-19 positive. If you are concerned that you have COVID-19, or that you have been exposed to the virus, then we can assist you in finding a testing site.
Please phone our office at 858 277 7123 and we will answer your questions regarding COVID-19 precautions and scheduling appointments.
Please stay safe and healthy.
