If you are experiencing symptoms of respiratory illness such as fever, cough or shortness of breath, have traveled to a high-risk area, or have been in contact with anyone who is known to have Coronavirus, confirmed or unconfirmed, it is very important that you call your doctor’s office and reschedule your appointment.
Be assured that we remain committed to meeting your surgical needs during this COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. It is important to keep your appointments so please call our office to learn the best option for your situation. In most cases, a telemedicine appointment may address your issue, if not we can discuss a scheduled appointment with adequate spacing to limit exposure to other people.
We are here for you during this challenging time.
