New Office Policy for the COVID-19 Pandemic 

Due to the rapid rise in new cases and deaths, we must change our policy for patient visits. It is becoming unsafe for our patients to come to the office. This level of risk may continue for several weeks, perhaps longer. The SARS-CoV-2 virus (the “Coronavirus”) may be contagious even before an infected person develops symptoms. It is spread through contact with respiratory droplets (saliva and mucous) and may even be spread through “aerosol” (fine invisible droplets that travel through the air). 

Beginning Monday, 3/30/2020, we will conduct all visits remotely (with some exceptions, see below). 

We are now using software that allows us to conduct visits from the safety of your homes over a webcam enabled device, such as a laptop, tablet or smartphone. We will try to conduct visits as closely as we would in person over a remote connection. For our patients that have no access to these devices and/or internet connections, then we can conduct telephone visits to the best of our ability. 

The safety of our patients and staff is our top priority. 

We want to provide you with the best care possible under the safest conditions.

Exceptions 

Newborns: Newborn patients need weight checks, bilirubin blood tests and vaccines 

Infants and Toddlers: need to be brought in to maintain the routine vaccine schedule 

Other patient in-office visits will be determined by the physicians. 

We are truly sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause. We will get through this safely!  

Stay safe and please follow the CDC guidelines for “social distancing”. Remember, it is now Michigan Law to remain indoors except for travel to essential jobs, buying food and other essential services.

Sincerely,  

The Doctors at Michigan Adult and Child Medicine
