To align with CDC recommendations, our office now screens all patients for fever and
potential symptoms of COVID-19. This begins over the phone when you make your appointment or the
day before your appointment is scheduled. We may ask you certain questions, such as whether you’ve
traveled recently or come in close contact with someone suspected of having COVID-19.
When you arrive at your office for your visit, we’ll also perform a quick temperature check. Next, we’ll
document symptoms or absence of symptoms consistent with coronavirus. This screening process is
quick and simple, but it goes a long way in making sure patients and healthcare workers are not exposed
to COVID-19 or put at risk of its transmission.
