** Important Information about COVID-19 **

Updated as of 11.01.2020

As we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, our goal is to keep both our staff and patients safe and healthy. 

The polices below have been adopted by Preferred Pediatrics.  There will be NO EXCEPTIONS to these polices.  If you can not or choose not to adhere you will be asked to reschedule your visit and/or exit our offices.  Continued disregard for our policies will lead to dismissal from our practice.

Thank you!

**  We ask that all patients check in FROM THEIR CAR when they arrive at our offices.  Please DO NOT ENTER our offices until you have spoken to our staff.  Once check-in is complete you will enter directly into your exam room! 

**  At this time we will only allow ONE PARENT to accompany the patient into the office.  Anyone else should remain in the car.

**  Anyone age 2 or older is REQUIRED to wear a mask/facial covering at all times while in our offices.

** THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THE ABOVE POLICIES!!! **

Preferred Pediatrics has initiated telemedicine or a virtual visit.  We will continue to offer this service, please call to schedule if you feel this is appropriate for your concerns.

It is important to keep your child current on his/her wellness care during this time.  Preventative healthcare protects our children and communities.  If your child requires a sports physical for the 2020-2021 school year, this is a great time to get that scheduled. 

In most patients COVID-19 will be a mild illness.  If you suspect you may be infected and are only mildly ill, please self quarantine for 14 days.  Please make an appointment for any concerns.
