CORONAVIRUS (SARS-CoV2) As we all respond to this unprecedented crisis, information and advice is rapidly evolving. Please see guidance from the CDC and the Colorado Department of Health for the most up-to-date information.
As always, we are here to provide care and guidance. Please don't hesitate to contact us at 303-442-2913.
Children's Hospital Colorado has set up a hotline for questions regarding COVID-19 at 720-777-2221.
How we are responding:
- In order to be consistent with CDC and American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations, we are recommending limiting non-urgent visits to our practice. We are continuing care as appropriate.
- Current AAP recommendations are to continue well child physicals. To further limit any exposure, we are only seeing well child physicals in the first part of the day. All sick child will be seen at the end of the day.
- We are taking steps to limit exposure to anyone visiting our office. We are requesting that if you or a family member come to our office with fever or any respiratory symptoms that you wait in the hallway, where you will be assisted. We have dedicated separate areas of the office for well and sick children.
- We will be providing telemedicine visits. Of course, not all problems can be handled virtually, but if possible we can use this option. At this time, privacy regulations have been relaxed to allow this care. Please contact your insurance carrier, if you have questions regarding how they will cover these visits.
- Also, when it is appropriate, the doctors and nurse practitioner can meet our patients at their car to keep patients out of the building as much as possible.
The CDC and AAP highly recommend the use of facemasks whenever in public for all persons over the age of 2 years. Detailed information can be found here.
One of the best ways to protect ourselves and to help limit the spread of COVID-19 is to wash our hands often, properly, and for at least 20 seconds. An instructional video on how to properly wash our hands can be found here. Additional information is available here.
In order to help limit the spread of any diseases, including COVID-19, please properly cover your coughs, sneezes, etc. The steps to do so can be found here.
