COVID INFORMATION
May 19, 2020 11:15 amThe doctors and staff of Delaware Pediatrics want to assure you that we are here for your family throughout the COVID 19 pandemic. Whether it be a routine well visit, a telephone call, a video telemedicine visit, or a patient portal communication, we are here to support you and address your questions and concerns.
The annual well visit continues to be a crucial component of the care we provide. It allows us to monitor your child’s growth and development, administer screening evaluations, and provide lifesaving immunizations. We encourage you to keep your child’s well visit appointment and to schedule one if your child is due.
We understand the concern that comes with visiting a doctor’s office and wanted to make you aware of what we are doing. In response to the COVID 19 pandemic, we have eliminated the waiting room in our office. All patients/family members are screened and taken directly to an examination room. If you want a staff member to wear a mask, please ask and they will put one on during your child’s visit. Exam rooms are equiped with a filter that thoroughly disinfects each room. Each room is also thoroghly cleaned between patients and sick visit appointments are done in designated rooms.
We do offer video telemedicine visits for any concerns you may have (rash, fever, cold symptoms, etc.) We can also offer video telemedicine visits for most behavioral health concerns.
We ask that you help us in our efforts to control the spread of COVID 19 by wearing a mask only if your child is being seen for a SICK visit that day. (this applies to everyone 2 years of age and older)
Please know that your safety and your child’s health are our greatest concerns. Do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have.
