IN-OFFICE APPOINTMENTS AT WELLCOMEMD

We are currently seeing patients in our office and we continue to be vigilant in following our enhanced guidelines for the safety of our patients and staff. This includes:

  • Please wear a mask: We request that all patients wear a mask when they enter the office and keep the mask on for the duration of their visit.

  • Screenings on arrival: Once you arrive for your appointment, in addition to being asked to wear a mask, you will also be screened for possible symptoms and exposure relating to COVID-19.

In addition, our medical staff continues to follow the enhanced safety guidelines we have had in place since March 2020, including but not limited to:

  • Sanitizing the office and exam rooms after each patient, including wiping down door handles, exam beds and the front desk

  • Wearing proper personal protective equipment

  • Performing COVID-19 testing at curbside

  • Offering curbside supplement pick-up (where available)

Telemedicine appointments are also available for patients who would prefer a virtual visit.

If you have any questions relating to this policy, or need to schedule an appointment, please contact our office at (888) 531-3844. Please contact us immediately if you feel you need to be tested for COVID-19.

QUESTIONS ABOUT COVID-19 AND COVID-19 VACCINES?

EMERGENCY EVENTS

At times, it may feel like the world has come to a standstill during the COVID-19 pandemic. But while we've hit pause on many parts of our lives, your health needs haven't necessarily changed.

An emergency event like a heart attack or a worrisome mole or lump should be addressed.

The emergency room is still the place for you if you are experiencing critical medical problems. This includes major injuries, serious allergic reactions, animal bites, severe burns, poisoning, severe abdominal pain, coughing up blood and, of course, heart attack and stroke.

Everyone at the ER is screened for COVID-19. Common areas and patient rooms are cleaned frequently and patients with COVID-19 are treated separately from those without COVID-19.

Any medical emergency is scary. And your stress may be elevated because of the pandemic. We at WellcomeMD are doing all we can to prevent unnecessary visits to the ER. However, in some circumstances it can't be avoided.

Please don't ignore potential emergencies. If you are concerned or have questions about whether or not you should visit the ER, please reach out to us. Call your physician or call our office at (888) 531-3844. We are here to help.
