In response towards efforts to assessing and monitoring ill patients, particularly those suspected of having COVID19, we will immediately reschedule patient appointments for the rest of the month. Effective immediately, the practice will perform the following:
All regular scheduled follow up appointments will be scheduled in the mornings.
All wellness exams/physicals scheduled in March 2020 will be rescheduled beginning April 1st.
All sick visits regardless of ailments will be scheduled in the afternoons.
We ask all patients who complain of respiratory ailments or complaints of fever to call our office first before coming in so we can properly coordinate the level of service needed. If you walk in our office and have the following flu-like symptoms:
– fever
– difficulty breathing
– and cough;
please inform our staff. A mask will be provided to you and the provider will be informed for further direction.
We understand that many would like to be tested for COVID19, however, testing for COVID19 is reserved for patients who have met the CDC criteria at this time. Please continue to follow the Orange County Department of Health website for updates on the establishment of a testing site:

If you have any additional questions, you can also call the Orange County Department of Health at

We are entering an unprecedented time, however, make no mistake, we will face this health care crisis together, and, together, we will overcome COVID19. We are committed to taking care of our communities and we will do our part to help as many of our patients as we possibly can.
