Lake Road Family Medicine continues to monitor the Coronavirus COVID-19 situation and will update our protocol accordingly with our staff. Our patient’s health and safety are one of our top priorities.
*Appointments for those over 65 or immune compromised will have appointments postponed, unless absolutely necessary to be seen now.
*All well people (well child checks, annual physicals, etc) will be seen in the first part of the day. Anyone with any respiratory or other illness is not to come in during these hours.
* Most cases of COVID-19 are mild. If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 – fever, cough, flu-like symptoms – it’s recommended you stay home until you feel well. If your symptoms worsen, and you have questions about your care, please call your primary care provider before visiting a medical office.
For severe symptoms – high-fever, changes in consciousness, shortness of breath – please call 911 or go to the closest emergency room.
We will let you know if/when this changes and there is a role for wider testing, which is not available at this time. Our office does not have the capability to perform testing for Covid-19.
*Any necessary sick visit will be seen in the later part of the day, with immediate mask and rooming (no time in the waiting room).
*All rooms, pens, stethoscopes, beds, chairs, restrooms will be wiped down between every patient and again on a regular hourly schedule.
*All toys and magazines have been removed from our waiting areas.
*No cash will be accepted at our office during this time.
With the rapidly changing guidelines and recommendations from the State and CDC, we will continue to keep everyone informed to the best of our ability. Our number one priority is to keep our staff and patients healthy so we can continue to provide the best care for our patients.
Stay Safe and Healthy!
