COVID-19 Patient Update

AOA Patients,

We understand the growing concern surrounding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) across the communities we serve. The health and safety of our patients, physicians, and staff is our top priority.

Based on current guidance and our own standards and practices, we are open and ready to provide exceptional patient care experiences.

Patients with Upcoming Appointments

To ensure we are considering the safety of all, we will not be allowing children to accompany patients to our office at this time. If you have traveled internationally, traveled on any cruise ship, have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 in the last 14 days, or you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below, we MUST reschedule your appointment for a future date.

• Fever
• Fatigue
• Cough
• Shortness of breath

Please call the office and our staff will reschedule your appointment.

A Note to Our Higher Risk Patients

As the virus continues to spread, we want to protect and safeguard our most vulnerable patients – the elderly, people with serious chronic medical conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and lung disease. This includes patients with cancer, organ transplant, immune deficiency, and those on some medications that suppress their immune system.

Elderly and higher-risk patients should consider changing any routine, non-urgent visits to a later date.

We look forward to continuing to service all our patients.

Thank you.
