COVID-19 FAQ
Do I need to come in for my well child exam during the shelter-in-place?
We strongly encourage patients to come in for their well-child checkups. Staying on-schedule for vaccinations is extremely important for children to have immunity to other diseases.
If you are up-to-date on all of your vaccines, we are happy to accommodate your needs and reschedule your appointment for a future date.
What type of appointment can I make for other health-related issues?
Please contact the office first. Many issues, including, but not limited to conjunctivitis, allergies, cough, congestion, rash, nausea, and nutrition can be addressed via a video visit. An in-person, drive-through visit can be scheduled if necessary.
