Dear Patients,

If you have an upcoming appointment, please review our policies below:

· When you arrive, please come into the office to check in.

We are enforcing social distancing by making sure available waiting room chairs are spaced 6 feet apart. If there are not enough open chairs in the waiting room, for your safety and the safety of others, we may ask you to go back to your car to wait and call you when we are ready for your appointment.

· All patients MUST wear a mask, per the statewide mask mandate.

NOTE: We are completely out of medical masks and cannot order more due to a critical shortage, therefore you must provide your own. If you do not have one, you can wear any covering such as a bandana, scarf or homemade cloth mask.

If you do not provide a covering for your mouth and nose, you will be asked to reschedule your appointment!

· Only the patient is allowed in the office.

NO SPOUSES/PARTNERS/CHILDREN. This applies to ultrasounds as well. We know this is very difficult on a lot of our patients, but it is a safety precaution for everyone.

Pregnant patients: we realize you want to share your ultrasound experience with your partner. Although we cannot accommodate partners in person at this time, we are able to allow you to video record the screen or use Facetime for a short while during your ultrasound. Thank you for your understanding.

· Telehealth Appointments: We will continue to offer Telehealth appointments for those who would prefer to stay at home. Also, patients over 60 or anyone with lung disease, heart failure, active cancers and diabetes, and have an appointment scheduled in the next month, please contact our office to decide if the appointment is essential or can be rescheduled as a Telehealth appointment.

If you are sick or exhibiting any symptoms that could be associated with the coronavirus we ask that you do not come to the office. Thank you all for being so patient and supportive of us through this ordeal. We are still in this together and brighter days are ahead!

Thank you,

Dr. Alan Murnane, Dr. Alicia Thompson and Staff
