SCREENING OF ALL PATIENTS AND PARENTS
Patients are screened for symptoms of cough, runny nose or fever at check-in and, if present, are asked to mask while in the office.
We offer same day rapid testing and PCR testing that is typically resulted within 24-48 hours. The type of test ordered will be determined by our M.D.s. This is a regular office visit and requires a copay.
If testing is indicated and recommended and the test is refused, you may be instructed to isolate as per CDC, AAP and TDH protocols.
SCHOOL NOTES
We are not able to provide school notes without seeing the patient in person or via Telehealth.
VIDEO APPOINTMENTS/TELEHEALTH
We currently offer telemedicine for selected visit types. This service is different from nurse triage and is billable. (Insurance coverage may vary)
