Lots of things have changed lately with COVID-19 epidemic, and we at ABC Pediatrics have tried our best to bridge the “social distancing” divide this has caused. The question is “How Can Telemedicine Benefit Us During The COVID-19 Pandemic”?

We at ABC Pediatrics are doing our part by providing support to our patients using Telehealth, while limiting health center visits to only those who absolutely must see the providers in person. Most of the patients have expressed a great satisfaction at the ease of access and the safety of such a visit. Your prescriptions are sent to the Pharmacy and you can go and pick the meds prescribed, with minimal contact with any person.

1- Treat a telemedicine visit just like a regular visit.

2- Feel free to include another person if you want.

3- Don’t stress about the technology.

“VISITS INTO THE CLINIC THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT, AND ARE BEING SUCCESSFULLY AND CAREFULLY MANAGED: VACCINATIONS AND THSTEPS.”

“As you know, a lot of children are behind in their vaccinations and we are doing our best to schedule as many as we safely can.”

At present we are SCHEDULING every visit and limiting the number of patients in the clinic. Every exam room gets disinfected as does the Triage room, weighing scales, Vitals checking equipment. These all get cleaned to CDC Standards. Every Medical worker in the clinic is wearing a Mask and shield, to protect you, themselves and our families.
