Due to the volume of sick children during this time of year, urgent visits are reserved for patients who are ill, needing evaluation and treatment by a doctor. Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to perform clearance COVID PCR tests . They are performed at the discretion of the doctor.
Due to the contagiousness of the Omicron variant, well visits will be scheduled at separate times as sick visits. We ask that our patient families be patient as we try to accommodate all our patients, while also maintaining the safest environment for everyone.
Although CDC Guidelines have changed for most businesses, our office is a healthcare facility. We still require face masks for all patients and visitors over the age of 2 years.
We want to assure our patient families that social distancing and strict infection control protocols are being followed at Healthy Pediatrics at Old Bridge.
- Masks must be worn by all patients and family members, ages 2 years and older.
- For sick visits, patient families wait in their vehicles and contact the office on arrival. When our staff is ready, families are then called and directed into a specific exam room.
- For well visits, families are directed into our well waiting room or a specific exam room on arrival.
- No-contact thermometers are used to screen patients.
- Each exam room is equipped with medical-grade HEPA air filters.
Feel free to contact our office if you have any questions or concerns during this time. We thank our patients for their understanding and cooperation in helping to keep everyone safe!
