The health of our patients and staff is our top priority. During the COVID-19 pandemic, here is what we are doing to keep everyone safe during your office visit:

• We require all patients and visitors over 2 years old to wear a mask.
• Each patient may have two visitors accompany them.
• You will be screened for symptoms of COVID-19 when you arrive for your appointment. You may be asked to reschedule if symptoms are present.
• Practice social distancing and stay at least 6 feet apart from others when possible.
• If you have a MyChart account, please complete the online check-in and payment before your visit.
