To ensure the health, well-being and safety of our patients and our team, only the patient is allowed in office.
For children and adult patients who require a caretaker, ONE adult may accompany the patient.
No additional guests/children, other than the patient, will be allowed in office.
At this time, all other guests/visitors are not permitted to accompany patients to their schedule in-office appointment(s).
COVID-19 UPDATE:
Travelers and residents returning from any U.S. state or territory beyond the immediate region (New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Delaware) should self-quarantine at their home, hotel, or other temporary lodging following recommendations from the CDC:
If travel is unavoidable, travelers should consider getting tested with a viral test (not an antibody test) 1-3 days before the trip and again 3-5 days after the trip.
If travelers test positive, they should self-isolate for at least 10 days and should postpone travel during that time.
If travelers test negative, they should quarantine for a full 7 days after travel.
If testing is not available (or if the results are delayed), travelers should quarantine for 10 days after travel.
The advisory is no longer specific to certain states. Because of the rising number of case counts across all states, there is an increased risk of spread of COVID-19 upon return from any travel.The self-quarantine is voluntary, but compliance is expected.
