at your appointment time and you will be connected to us. Please call our staff to familiarize yourself to the procedure.

Until further notice, all patients must check in at the front desk with either Cecilia or Kristin. You can also call to check in if you prefer. At the check in, you will be asked screening questions which may include, but are not limited to:

Are you or anyone in your household sick?

Have you or anyone in your household potentially come in contact with any of the presumptive positive people

Depending on the answer(s) to these questions, we reserve the right to reschedule the appointment.

To reduce the amount of people in the office at any one time:

We will be reducing the total number of patients seen daily – please be understanding if we need to change your appointment.

Please check in and go back and wait in your car until you are called to reduce exposure to yourself and others. Please provide your cell phone to front desk so we can call you when you are ready to be roomed in.

At this time we have implied the policy for no more than 1 person in the waiting room.

If you would feel more comfortable waiting in your car, please call to check-in and we will notify you by phone when we are ready.

Office hours may be modified.

As always, we are following universal precautions to keep our patients safe. We have increased the frequency of disinfecting our countertops and common areas

We hope that everyone stays safe and healthy .

Thank you for your cooperation.
