Dear Patients,

 

Effective April 14, 2023:

 

  • We are mask optional.

 

  • Children are allowed back into the office.

 

  • We will continue to have masks available for anyone with symptoms of upper respiratory infections.

 

  • We will continue to offer telehealth appointments if appropriate for your care.   Handwashing and staying home if you feel ill are the best ways to prevent the spread of infections.

 

Vaccinations against Covid-19 is still important.  In pregnant patients, Covid-19 can cause infection of the placenta and death of the baby in the uterus.  While this is a rare occurrence, we must do all we can to prevent this.  Getting a COVID-19 vaccine, including getting a COVID-19 booster shot when it’s time to get one, can help protect you and your baby from serious health problems from COVID-19.

 

Thank you for entrusting Westar OB/GYN to care for your health.

 

Sincerely,

Alan Murnane, MD

Please note our policy regarding all prescriptions:

If you are having symptoms of a Urinary Tract Infection, Yeast or Vaginal infection, or need to refill current medications, please note that we will require you to have an office visit or telehealth visit before the provider will prescribe any medications.  For your safety, we require that you have a medical assessment with clinical reviews that are essential for safe prescribing.  Thank you for your understanding.

“I love everything about this place from the front desk, to the nurses, to my doctor. They make me feel so comfortable and at ease with my first pregnancy I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!”

“All of the doctors in this practice are wonderful! I would trust each one of them to decide the very best plan of care for their patients. Not to mention professionalism and bedside manner.”

"Thank you all for the outstanding prenatal care, and special thanks to Dr. Murnane for a C-section and Kathy for her in-hospital post-natal check-in. I love that you all work harmoniously and encourage moms to get to know you each individually. My care was all the better for it. I have felt so secure with Westar, very much like an individual, and not “a number”, and I know that it is not easy to provide that level of healthcare. Thank you!" - Carolyn

“I have been going to Dr. Murnane for over 10 years now and he's delivered my three beautiful bundles! I love the comfort of Westar OB/GYN and the flexibility with having more than 1 doctor available.”
