What we are doing to protect our patients and staff from COVID-19

We are pleased to announce that we are now offering video visits!  

A video visit allows patients to video chat with a medical provider while remaining in the comfort and safety of their own homes.

-This is a wonderful tool to help us provide care to patients under quarantine or who would prefer not to leave home during the COVID-19 outbreak.

-We will continue to see patients in the office who prefer or require an exam in office.

 

We are screening all patients before coming to the office for risk of exposure to COVID-19.

How this helps:

-high risk patients will be referred to appropriate testing sites

-referring high risk patients helps keep our office a low risk environment for contracting COVID-19

 

We are thoroughly cleaning each room, waiting areas and work spaces with cleaning materials effective against a broad spectrum of germs including human coronavirus.

We are working with the PA Department of Health to stay up to date on testing recommendations and community risk factors.

We will keep you informed with regular updates on our Facebook page.

Do you have more questions about COVID-19?

Ask us!  We are happy to provide up to date and accurate information.
