Coming into Our Office
Should I come in for my appointment?
More than likely, yes. Our office is currently open for in-person visits.
If you have not had virus symptoms or recent exposure, please know you can come in and see us for your scheduled appointment or urgent care needs. If you are worried and think you need to cancel, call us first and let us tell you about how we are making sure everyone stays safe. This is especially important for our pregnant patients, as we recommend you continue your planned prenatal care to ensure you stay on track for a healthy pregnancy and avoid any unwanted complications.
What about elective procedures?
This time, we are rescheduling all elective procedures. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your provider for more information and
to reschedule.
Can I bring anyone with me to my appointment?
We are asking our patients not to bring any guests to appointments right now. We understand there are a couple of exceptions, for example, if this person is medically necessary or if they serve as an interpreter. If this is the case, please call us ahead of time to let us know who you are bringing, and we can help make sure it’s safe. We know it’s exciting to bring a grandparent or spouse to your ultrasound appointment, but right now, we need to protect everyone as much as we can.
