Getting Tested
If you suspect infection with COVID-19, please
call ahead so we can give you instructions as to how to enter our office. We have one entrance for sick patients and another entrance for our well patients.
Our Staff Protocols
Our staff always wash/disinfect their hands in between each patient appointment, and we encourage you to wash/disinfect your hands before and after your appointment. We have soap and hand sanitizer available for in-office use.
We have also initiated protocols to put our suspected coronavirus infected patients in a patient room as soon as you arrive in the office if possible. However, it is best to
call our Quick Clinic ahead of time to let us know you are coming. In the event that our rooms are full, you will be instructed to wait in your car until we call you in. If you have a mask, we ask that you wear it to the office or ask for one when you arrive.
Preventing the Spread
In order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and many other illnesses, including the flu:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water
- Cover your mouth and nose with the crease of your arm when you cough or sneeze
- Avoid handshakes and touching your nose and eyes
- Stay home when you are sick and respect CDC recommendations for social distancing
