28 Aug, 20 Update on Rainbow Pediatrics appointments, live vs. telemedicine
* Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are unable to offer walk in hours for an undetermined amount of time. The safety and wellbeing of our patients, families, and staff are of the upmost importance to us. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please call our office if you need a 'same day' appointment and we will schedule one for that day whether it be a telemedicine, parking lot, or inhouse visit. We want to assure you that we are available to give care.
* We are now seeing children/adolescents of any age in the office for well care if they are due for any vaccines. Patients should be accompanied by only 1 healthy parent/guardian. Covid-19 screening will be done the day before the appointment when making reminder calls and also the day of your appointment via phone from your car when you arrive for your appointment.
* Well care for children/adolescents who are not due for vaccines can be done via telemedicine. The screening forms for the well visit will be attached to the email we will send you, with a link to a virtual exam room where you will join the provider the day of your appointment. We ask that you fill the screening forms out and email them back well before your appointment so the provider can review them prior to your visit. If you are unable to fill them out and email them back, we ask that you call our office the day before or the morning of your appointment and a nurse will assist you over the phone and fill them out with you.
* We can also schedule acute visits as well as behavioral health (ADHD, ADD, depression/anxiety) visits for medication management via telemedicine. If your visit requires screening fomrs, again we ask that you please send them back to us prior to your visit or call and a nurse will assist you over the phone and fill them out with you.
* Our office-based clinician and dietitian are also available to schedule a visit either by phone or telemedicine.
