Just a reminder everyone!

Hello Everyone. We have had some beautiful weather and the feeling of Spring is in the air!!! As we all continue to navigate through this pandemic it feels like maybe the light at the end of the dark tunnel is getting closer. Vaccination for all eligible people is underway. To check if you are eligible go to the website am-i-eligible.covid19vaccinehealth.ny.gov. It appears that very soon all adults will be eligible!!!! Please get your vaccine when you can. And continue to ...wear masks and maintain social distancing when indicated. As we get closer to Summer remember to make your child's routine appointments. It looks like some Summer Camps will be operational this summer so don't forget to make your child's camp physical appointment if needed. If your child will be attending college this fall for the first time they will also need a physical. We are here if you need us. Stay safe everyone. See more

Our office will be closed this afternoon due to the weather. We are still available for phone calls and virtual visits this afternoon if needed. We anticipate being open tomorrow, with a possible slight delay if necessary maybe 10 am opening. Will keep you updated. Please stay safe!!!!

We are keeping an eye on the weather for tomorrow 2/18 and Friday 2/19. We are anticipating having morning office hours tomorrow and closing early. We will probably have a delayed opening on Friday. As always we are available for questions or concerns. Updates will be posted here. Please stay safe.

Happy to Volunteer today at GSH giving out Covid vaccines.!!! So many people showing gratitude and feeling blessed to receive this vaccine it really touched me.

Our Office Halloween Celebration. Lots of fun with our patients. Have a Happy Halloween Everyone !!!!

Hello everyone! Wanted to let you all know that we finally got most of our flu vaccine shipment.!!! Please call for your child's flu appointment if you have not done so. We have not had any cases of flu reported this season and there is ample time to get vaccinated. AND YES we recommend getting the Flu Vaccine. Also there has been an increase in Covid cases. Please be respectful of our office policies. These policies are in place to protect the doctors, staff, and other pati...ents. 1. You will be asked prescreening questions over the phone and in person. 2. Your temperature will be taken upon arrival. 3. You must wear a mask at ALL times while in the office. 4 The mask must be worn properly over your nose and mouth again at ALL times while in the office. 5. We have to have ONE parent and ONE child in the office at a time, this continues to be an issue. If it were any other type of medical office only one person, the patient, would be allowed in at a time. It is a pediatric office so obviously we cannot do that unless the child is old enough to come in alone!. This is to reduce the volume of people at time in the office which reduces exposure in an enclosed space. We understand that this can be very difficult in certain families if there is only one parent at home with young children. If more than one child needs to come in with one parent we need to make special arrangements for this. PLEASE don't show up at the appointment with multiple children and ask if they can come in at the same time without making a special request. 6. Any child with ANY symptoms of COVID, or exposure to COVID has to be seen virtually or we can see them outside of our office. Due to the increase in cases we currently recommend Covid testing for any symptoms. We highly recommend the PCR test which is the gold standard. Rapid tests are Ok for a "quick" screen but there are false negatives. So we are currently relying on the PCR which we can order for your child to be done through the Bon Secours system. Please understand that these rules are in place to protect everyone. If our office has a major exposure, we would be subjected to closure for up to 14 days!! We would then not be available for you and your children and you would have to go to urgent care or the ER and no one wants that. So please be kind to my staff who are working very hard at the front desk. ONE LAST NOTE: We are getting ready for our annual office Halloween Fun So stay tuned for our costumes and stop by with your costumes for TRICK or TREAT !!! See more

Hello Again Everyone. I want to let you all know that an expected shipment of our flu vaccine has been delayed. We have thousands of doses ordered for this season so there will be plenty available. Our vendor has told me this delay is due to the wildfires which has caused a nationwide distribution problem with shipping. This should be a temporary issue!!! We will continue to have shipments coming. Please understand that it is still very early and there is plenty of time to receive the flu vaccine for proper protection for this season. Thank you all for your understanding.

Hello Everyone. Please be aware that due to the Covid Pandemic our appointment scheduling is more restricted. For example we can only bring in one patient at a time and so the appointment times are even more limited than they usually are. Although we understand that "Life Happens" we have had a lot of people cancelling their well appointments at the last minute many of them double appointments. (siblings). We are asking for your consideration in this matter, please keep your ...appointments , or at this time same day cancellations will incur a missed appointment fee. In the past we would give a warning but now we are not being given enough time to fill the appointment times and there are hour blocks being left open at the last minute which is unfair to the doctors and other patients who could have used that appointment time. We really appreciate everyone's help here. See more
