Our statement and guidelines for dealing with the Coronavirus COVID-19 🦠

We are requesting that all patients (OB included) who have had close contact with a lab-confirmed COVID-19 case or a history of travel to or from an affected geographic area with widespread community transmission AND exhibit symptoms of acute respiratory illness (fever, cough, shortness of breath) be taken to the emergency room or alternate facility where they can be tested for COVID-19.

Even if pregnant, patients with respiratory symptoms such as cough, sore throat and/or fever may contact us by PHONE at 305-515-5425 for instructions, but should NOT ENTER OUR OFFICE.

All patients are required to wear a mask before entering the office.

Only one additional person is permitted to accompany the patient during an appointment visit.

We are unable to provide acute care services for respiratory illnesses and cannot provide testing for COVID-19 or influenza.

Unless we receive guidance otherwise, our offices remain OPEN for your obstetric, gynecological and hormone related services.

As a reminder of what the CDC and Baptist Hospital have published, we encourage all of our patients and associates to do the following:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
• If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
• Cover your cough or sneeze into your elbow, or into a tissue and throw it in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
