Beginning the week of March 30, we will begin using separate offices for well and sick care on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.  Well Visits and Newborn visits will be taking place at our Lees Hill location, while our Courthouse office will be designated for sick appointments only.  On Monday and Thursday the offices will continue to see a mixture of appointments.  Our providers will be rotating between the offices to accommodate their primary patients.  You may be called to adjust a scheduled appointment.  We apologize for the inconvenience however your health and safety are our number one priority.

Now is the perfect time to schedule wellness exams and school physicals.  After May 01, we will be happy to see your child for a sports physicals for the upcoming school year!

Effective immediately we will be limiting the number of people going into the exam room with their child to just ONE parent.  In addition, for extra precaution we are asking our patients that are scheduled for a Non-Well appointment to please call us from your car when you arrive.  When an exam room is ready we will call you and one of our nurses will take you directly to a room.  

In an abundance of caution our staff will all be wearing masks!

We are here to protect you and here to care for you!  We will wear clothing that is washed daily, we will wear masks when we have to be close to your children and we will wash our hands and all surfaces frequently.

FOR CHILDREN WHO WHEEZE:  IF THERE IS A RESPIRATORY CONCERN, PLEASE BRING YOUR INHALERS OR MDIS TO YOUR APPOINTMENTS.

As concerns over the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) grow, understanding some key facts can be crucial to protecting your family and yourself.

Currently there is no specific treatment for COVID-19.  However, we've provided the information below from the Centers of Disease Control to help you understand when you need treatment.

Guidelines from the CDC

While there is no vaccine to prevent coronavirus, there are several prevention methods that can help reduce your risk of infection.

• Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water frequently, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue and immediately discard it.
• Regularly clean frequently touched surfaces and items.
• The CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a face-mask.
• Face-masks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others.

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.
