The coronavirus pandemic has caused many Treasure Coast medical clinics to limit client visits or offer reduced hours. And, if local hospitals become overrun with coronavirus patients, you may have difficulty scheduling appointments with medical specialists.
While it is important that you receive necessary medical treatment for your injuries, concerns about delaying or re-scheduling doctor’s appointments because of the coronavirus is understandable.

Yet, if your doctor recommends delaying or re-scheduling your appointment for a later date, then that is what you should do.
