COVID-19 UPDATE
Due to the Coronavirus outbreak and the impending projected increased number of cases in Washtenaw County, we are CLOSING our office until further notice. However, we will remain available for “Emergency Visits” and “Phone Consultations”.
“Emergency Visits”
While we will no longer hold normal office hours, we will still make appointments to treat anyone suffering with moderate to severe pain. We are continuing to be available in this regard as we are trying to do our part to lessen the burden on the ER. If your pain is unmanageable and you would normally call our office for treatment before presenting to the ER, we are here for you. Please call or email the office to get on the schedule and we will respond as quickly as possible.
“Phone Consultations”
We understand that new symptoms and injuries arise. Normally, when this happens one would come in to be seen and treated. Unfortunately, due to the possibility that an infected person can look and feel well for over a week while the coronavirus can be transmitted to others, we are, in accordance with the Federal Government and the CDC, attempting to minimize that risk by closing the office. Therefore, we will be available for phone consultations, free of charge. We will be able to gather information regarding your condition and advise you on at-home care. *Unfortunately, due to strict guidelines regarding care, this service is not available to new patients. You must be established in our practice for us to advise your care.
This was an incredibly difficult decision for Dr. Kim and I to make. We truly enjoy our jobs and our patients and know that during stressful times injuries and chronic pain can worsen. We would like everyone to know that we will be there for you as best we can while also trying to abide by the recommendations of the CDC in an attempt to minimize risk of spreading the coronavirus.
Again, if you are in moderate to severe pain and need help – we are here for you. If you encounter new pain or a new injury and you would like our professional opinion – we are here for you. Call or email the office for an “emergency visit” or “phone consultation”.
We would like to thank all of you for your unwavering support as we navigate this very fluid situation. We will continue to update everyone as we move forward about when we plan to reopen and resume normal hours and protocols. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. We wish you all the very best of health.
