Can my children get a COVID test in your office?

Yes, if you have a child (or children) who are showing symptoms of COVID-19, you can schedule an ill visit with a doctor to be tested for COVID-19.

If my child has no symptoms, but has been exposed and needs a test to return to school or activities, can you do the test in your office?

Yes. You can schedule a doctor’s visit to have your child seen and tested.

Do you offer “nurse only” visits for COVID-19 testing?

No. Due to shortages in nursing staff, we are not able to offer this service. But you can schedule an appointment with a physician.

Do you have home COVID-19 tests you can give us?

No. We have an antigen test we use in our office. You can now order COVID-19 tests for your family at https://www.covidtests.gov/ .

Everyone in our house either has COVID or has been exposed.  Will you see our children if needed?

Yes! If your child has more severe COVID symptoms such as breathing difficulties or severe wheezing, we will direct them to an Emergency Department. Call your primary office first to see how best to schedule your child.
