COVID-19 Policies
We are pleased to be able to provide both in person and telehealth (by phone or video) appointments at the discretion of our pediatricians.
​
COVID-19 Policies (updated September 2023)
​
-
At this time, our waiting room is OPEN and masks are optional.
-
If you feel more comfortable, you may wait in your vehicle prior to your appointment - just check-in first with our office staff. A staff member will then let you know when the pediatrician is ready for your appointment.
-
The number of people in the appointment is at your discretion - other caregivers can join in by phone if required.
-
There is a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for harassment of our staff. If you have questions or concerns about any of the above policies, please discuss with your pediatrician.
​
Virtual Appointments
​
To prepare for your telehealth appointment please visit our Your Virtual Appointment page.
​
In-person Appointments
​
At this time, masks are OPTIONAL for all guardians and patients, however we would encourage you to kindly consider wearing a mask if you are recovering from a cold. This is subject to change depending on current Public Health Orders.
​
Please reschedule if:
-
You or your child are unwell (e.g. cough, fever, sore throat, diarrhea).
-
You or your child have had close contact with anyone with a probable or confirmed case of COVID-19 within the past 10 days
We are happy to reschedule or switch to a virtual appointment if appropriate!
