During this COVID-19 pandemic, please wear a mask in our office! If you do not have one, we will give you one, as long as supplies last.
Thank you,
Ludlow Pediatrics
JUST TO REMIND EVERYONE.
WE ARE OPEN IN THE MORNINGS FOR WELL VISITS
AND OTHER VISITS WHERE CHILDREN HAVE NO FEVER
IN THE AFTERNOON WE WILL SEE MILDLY SICK PATIENTS: EAR INFECTIONS, ASTHMA, ALLERGIES, ETC.
TELEHEALTH VISITS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ADHD,
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND SIMILAR VISITS.
IF YOU OR YOUR CHILD HAVE SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19, FEVER, AND COUGH, THE CDC RECOMMENDS THAT YOU STAY HOME UNLESS YOU START TO HAVE SHORTNESS OF BREATH OR CHEST PAIN, IN WHICH CASE YOU SHOULD THEN GO TO THE ED. IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO EXPOSE OTHER PEOPLE TO THE COVID19 VIRUS IF YOU HAVE IT. EVEN THE TECHNIQUE OF DOING THE TEST EXPOSES THE PROVIDER TO IT.
VERY FEW PATIENTS ARE COMING TO THE OFFICE IN THE AFTERNOON. THEREFORE, THE STAFF IS LEAVING EARLY, USUALLY BY 2PM. PLEASE CALL BEFORE THEN FOR ANY OFFICE BUSINESS.
THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR PATIENCE DURING THIS TRYING AND DANGEROUS TIME.
Hello everyone. Telemedicine is here!!! I hope you are all staying home and staying healthy. Obviously some people with children need to come to the office: WCV, immunizations, rash with no fever, etc. Therefore we are having all those kids come in, in the morning where they will not get exposed to sick children. If you child is mildly sick: STAY HOME!! If you think they have an ear infection, strep throat, pneumonia, sinusitis, a rash with a fever. They are at low risk for COVID19 and will take a look at them in the afternoon and will use appropriate PPE if we need to swab them.
Now, lots of visits can now be done through video conferencing. It is simple and easy. Facetime is very easy to do with iPhones or iPads. Next is Google Duo. To facilitate this go to the App store on your smartphone and/or tablet and download the App for Google Duo. It is simple, easy and free. If you do not download it ahead of time, when we call you, you will receive a link to connect.
To make an appointment for a Telemedicine visit, just call the office and they will make the appointment and we will call you at that time. These will be for ADHD visits, Behavioral health visits, even rashes can be diagnosed sometimes this way. Once again if you want a telemedicine visit, call the office to book the appt. and let us know if you have an iPhone or Android. Unfortunately, there are somethings that cannot be diagnosed via telemedicine: Ear infections, strep throat, pneumonias, some rashes and other things like injuries have to be examined in person. Thank you very much.
Take care of yourself and your family.
