Covid-19 Update
Our physicians and staff have all been fully vaccinated.
Our office has resumed normal business hours
Mondays – Thursdays 8:00 am – 4:00 pm
The following the changes and protocols remain in place:
Patient appointments will be spaced out to reduce the number of individuals in the office at one time and allow for more thorough cleaning and disinfection of the treatment areas between patients.
If you arrive early for your appointment, we ask that you wait in your vehicle until your scheduled appointment time and/ or call the front desk (434.979.0728) to see if we can accommodate you earlier.
We are aware that this will significantly limit the number of available patient appointment slots per day. We do offer same-day emergency appointments to try and accommodate as many patients in need of care as soon as possible.
We ask that all adult patients over the age 18 please present to the visit unaccompanied to reduce the number of visitors seated in the waiting area or treatment rooms.
Patients under the age of 18 will be allowed one adult companion in the treatment area. Siblings will not be allowed to wait in the office.
All scheduled patients will be screened for COVID symptoms prior to their appointments.
All persons entering our office must be wearing a mask or cloth facial covering.
As always, we are committed to keeping our staff and patient safe and healthy and will continue to do our part to act responsibly during these difficult times. Of course this situation is very fluid, and we will continue to work with the CDC, the Virginia Department of Health, American Podiatric Medical Association and local hospitals to make any additional updates and/ or restrictions as necessary.
Thank you for your cooperation.
