Patients aged 5-18 - Only 1 parent should be in attendance in the office, if both parents would like to attend we can set up a Zoom call for you to join. Patients 18-22 - 1 Parent can attend the visit. We are still asking that siblings without office visits and addition family members (grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc) not attend the appointment.
- Our shot patient appointments are limited to avoid crowding in the waiting room. Shots are by appointment only. Please arrive at your scheduled appointment time. Early or late arrivals will be asked to reschedule by phone from their vehicle
- Patients with office visit appointments in all offices will be checked in by phone and wait in their car for an exam room to open.
SYMPTOM SCREENING:
- We are asking that patients who are symptomatic with symptoms consistent with COVID-19 schedule telemedicine visits.
- There is a health screen implemented by Hartford Healthcare that all patients must complete upon booking and checking in for appointments.
We are sanitizing the waiting room chairs and surfaces at least twice per day. We are sanitizing every exam room from top to bottom between each patient visit. All equipment such as blood pressure cuffs, otoscopes and stethoscopes are sanitized between patients.
Thank you all for your compliance with these rules as we navigate this difficult situation. As information continues to evolve, we will keep our website updated.
