Southtowns Pediatrics Family,

Unfortunately due to the COVID- 19 crisis Southtowns Pediatrics has had to temporarily make changes to our office schedules.

**As of 3/25/2020- our Abbott Road location is TEMPORARILY CLOSED. **

**The DERBY, BIG TREE and DUNKRIK offices remain OPEN with normal hours. We are continuing to see patients during the COVID-19 crisis**
BUT
we want to make you aware of the steps that we are taking to protect our patients and our staff from COVID-19.

1- We have increased the cleaning of ALL of our surfaces and have removed commonly touched items (puzzles, toys) from our waiting room and rooms to help decrease the spread of germs. I can guarantee you we are cleaning regularly.

2- We are encouraging patients and parents to limit who comes to the office appointments. We prefer the patient with ONE parent/guardian. We understand that with schedules and school closing this may be difficult.

3- Feel free to call us from your car when you arrive. We can do most of our pre-registration over the phone to help limit the time you have in the check in line. You can then wait in your car until a room is available, and we will call you when your room is ready.

4- We are still encouraging infants and other young children to maintain their well child visits/physicals and follow the recommended immunization schedule at this time. We have designated times and rooms specifically for well patients.

5- If you are uncomfortable coming into the office at this time, SOME visits we can do telephonically. Please call your office for more information.

6- **We now have the ability to do RAPID ANTIGEN COVID 19 Testing** Please DO NOT walk in for testing, call our office for more information. Please be aware that your insurance may or may not cover this service.

Please continue to follow our Facebook page for updates as the COVID-19 situation is changing constantly.

Thank you and stay healthy and happy!
From your Southtowns Pediatrics staff!
