Because the coronavirus produces cold-like symptoms in 80% of infected individuals, it’s important to remain at home when ill regardless of how mild your symptoms are. We understand that as an allergy clinic, this is tricky because seasonal allergies can mimic cold symptoms. But, if you have a fever, please do not come to the office for allergy shots or appointments for 14 days.
Please call us to cancel or reschedule appointments. There will be no late cancel fees for appointments canceled or rescheduled during this pandemic.
We are continually monitoring changes and developments in this rapidly evolving situation and will post updates to our website as we make changes.
The health and safety of our patients and employees is of utmost priority! We endeavor to continue to provide the highest possible level of care during these uncertain times. Stay well!
