At the Center for Vascular Medicine, we are very concerned for the health and safety of our patients and employees. Our team is carefully watching for updates regarding the new coronavirus (COVID-19) and referring to trusted healthcare organizations as well as governmental agencies for recommendations on precautionary measures.
These are just a few of the steps we are taking to keep our patients and employees safe:
- We will ask you screening questions prior to every visit.
- Upon entry to our office, you will be provided a mask and asked to wear it while in our office.
- Our staff are required to wear masks for your protection.
- We will be taking your temperature using a non-contact thermometer at the time of arrival.
- We are scheduling patients to limit the time and number of people in our waiting room.
- We are encouraging non-touch payment methods and will no longer be taking cash as payment.
- We have telemedicine options available allowing you to meet with a provider from the comfort of your home.
Please note that any patient that arrives to the office with flu-like symptoms (fever, coughing, etc.) will not be seen and asked to reschedule their appointment. This is in the best interest of our doctors, staff and patient population, many of whom suffer from chronic conditions and have compromised immune systems.
In accordance with CDC guidelines, if you, or anyone you’ve come in contact with has been diagnosed with COVID-19 or has traveled to China, Iran, Italy or South Korea in the last 14 days, please call our office to reschedule your appointment.
If you have questions about COVID-19, please click here for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) collection of FAQs which may help.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
