Fall 2023 Update:
Our lobby is now open and masks are optional, however, we continue monitor the CDC’s reports of local COVID-19 Hospital Admission Levels to determine the risk within the community.
As long as hospital admission levels continue to be categorized as “low”, masking will continue to be optional. However, if the risk rises, we will likely require masking and may consider closing our lobby again.
We will continue to require those with in-office appointments to reschedule (or switch to a telemedicine visit when appropriate) in the event that they meet any of the criteria below.
We serve a community of largely reproductive-age women, including pregnant women. Pregnancy is known to be one of the high risk categories associated with significant risk of hospitalization and death related to COVID infection, as well as increased risk of miscarriage.
Additionally, we have a very small team and must be diligent in order to remain healthy & operational so that we can continue to serve you.
Therefore, on behalf of our patients and our team, thank you for your understanding and compliance.
