When reasonable to do so, sick appointments may take place by video visit. We continue to clean rooms in between patients, with “deep cleanings” occurring nightly. All patients over 2 and parents must wear a face mask when coming to the office. We ask that you do not bring anyone extra to the visit and only one parent accompany their child to their appointment.
