With the upcoming fall allergy and respiratory viral season upon us we wanted to provide a way to evaluate patients safely and effectively. We are excited to announce that starting Tuesday, September 1st we will be offering Acute Testing Visits for our patients. They will be scheduled telemedicine appointments but the visit will be done from the main parking lot of our office building.Read Full Acute Testing Visits AnnouncementNew allergy shot patients will be allowed to startWe will resume building allergy shot dosesPatients may return for weekly injections if neededPrior to arriving for your scheduled allergy injection, please preview the Covid screening questions and make sure you answer no to all questionsAfter your arrivalThe front staff will pull your chart and have your ETA on the frontThe nurse out front will check your temperature and oxygen level and notify a clinic nurse of your arrival.You will then proceed into the clinic and immediately receive your shot (bypassing the lobby and front desk) and while the majority of our patient visits are telemedicine, you will be placed in a sanitized exam room for your 30 minute wait. As we transition to seeing more patients in the office, the waiting room will be used for overflow but only to a number that social distancing can be maintained All patients (2 years and older) coming into the office will be required to wear a facial covering of some kind. We do NOT recommend stockpiling Albuterol inhalers or prednisone since that will lead to a shortage (think toilet paper).  If you have non-expired medications you do NOT need to call for a prescription for extra.
