At Hamden Pediatrics, your family’s health and safety is our top priority.
During the Coronavirus pandemic, we are trying our best to keep you
updated through our website and Facebook page. Please check back often
as medical information and advice is evolving constantly. We appreciate
your understanding and flexibility as we make appropriate changes to our
practice.
To help decrease the spread of COVID-19, we have limited our in office
sick visits and are providing as much care as possible through
telemedicine visits. Our goal is to provide exceptional health care
while ensuring the safety of our patients and providers. For in office
visits, we ask that only one adult accompany the child, and that both
the parent and child (when possible) wear a mask. If anyone in the
household has symptoms of illness (fever, cough, congestion, sore
throat, loss of taste or smell, vomiting or diarrhea), has had an
exposure to COVID-19, or is under quarantine due to travel or exposure,
please do not come to the office, but call to reschedule. We ask that
all families call our office when they arrive in our parking lot, before
coming into the building. Our staff will ask screening questions and
direct the family to an exam room in our office. Masks must be put on
before entering the building and must remain in place at all times until
families return to their car.
We have updated our air filtration system and all staff are following
appropriate PPE and social distance guidelines to reduce the risk of
COVID-19.
If you have concerns about possible COVID-19 exposure, COVID-19 testing,
or if your child is experiencing any signs of illness, we ask that you
call our office to schedule a telemedicine visit with one of our
doctors. If appropriate, COVID-19 testing will be ordered.
OFFICE HOURS: Monday 9am – 7pm, Tuesday 9am-7pm, Wednesday 9am-5pm,
Thursday 9am-7pm, Friday 9am-5pm, Saturday 9am - 1pm. If you have a
non-urgent issue or need a medication refill, we ask that you please
call during these hours. If you reach the answering service during these
hours, then stay on the line to be connected via page to the doctor
covering the office. As usual, we have providers on-call for emergent
issues if you need to reach us outside of our regular office hours.
Unless you are having a life-threatening emergency, we strongly
discourage the use of urgent care facilities or the emergency room
unless instructed to by one of our physicians.
