as of Sunday 3/22/2020:
The well-being of our patients at Beacon Pediatrics is our utmost concern during this challenging time. We are taking measures to protect all of our patients as well as our staff. We are updating things starting Monday, March 23rd as noted below.
Our office hours have changed and we will NOT be offering walk-in visits during this world wide crisis. Our updated hours are as follows:
Monday to Friday 8 am to 4:30 pm
Saturday 8 am to 10am
Sunday closed
All visits will be by appointment only. Scheduled sick visits are readily available.
Your child’s safety is our priority. We want to ensure our well children stay well and we want to continue to provide care for our children that are sick. To that end we have instituted the following in our office:
1. Separate entrances and areas of the office for well and sick children.
2. Staff and providers are either working in the well area or the sick area….not shifting back and forth.
3. All rooms are being cleaned thoroughly between patients. No toys are in the exam rooms.
4. There will be no waiting room – you will be greeted at the door and escorted directly to an exam room.
5. All children and caregivers are being screened prior to entering our office to ensure they are seen in the appropriate area of the office.
6. We ask that the child and only 1 caregiver attend the appointment if possible.
We encourage our families to continue to have your child receive their appropriate well child care and stay up to date on their vaccinations; this especially applies to the children less than 2 years and the 4 year olds.
We are able to provide many of our patients care through telehealth services (with audio and video capabilities) with our providers. A telehealth visit is just like “Facetime” or “Skype” but with our provider and in a HIPAA compliant secure connection. Our staff may offer that as an option for medication checks, some followup visits and some sick visits. If you would like to schedule a visit via telehealth, please call our office at (302) 645-8212. If that visit is needed outside our current office hours, please ask the answering service for a “Telehealth” visit.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make changes rapidly during this ever evolving COVID 19 pandemic. Remember that social distancing, staying home if you are sick and good hand hygiene are critical during this time. As always, Beacon Pediatrics wants to ensure the safest environment and best care for you and your family.
