As healthcare providers, we put the well being of our patients and our staff first. We know you are concerned about the Coronavirus, as are we. We have made the very difficult but necessary decision to not see patients in the office showing signs of fever, cough and any upper respiratory and flu symptoms beginning immediately. To try to assist in “flattening” the curve of the spread of the virus. We currently have telemedicine available for those of you who are showing any of these symptoms and  those who prefer to have a telemedicine visit to take care of a routine visits or if you are in the high risk category. In addition, we will also try to use virtual telemedicine visits in place of in person visits for other matters when appropriate in order to limit the overall patient flow through the office. Please call our office to arrange for a telemedicine appointment with your provider. We will keep you updated as to the timing of returning to a regular schedule. Please make sure for the Telemedicine visit you will have with your provider, that you have a phone, computer or tablet that has a microphone and camera. You will be sent a link at the time of your appointment to initiate the appointment with your provider. We will also, continue to have a on call provider accessible by phone after hours. Please visit the CDC website for national updates. For updates on the local situation check on the Clark County Health department website. Right now we have to protect each other and work together, responding to this public health crisis by staying apart. You are all in our thoughts. We wish you and your family good health and resilience during this time. Please take good care of each other and thank you for you continued trust in Northwest Medical Associates
