Martindale Family Medicine Clinic is closed today with the ice.
NP Jessica Dine and I are doing telemedicine visits for those who were on the schedule and probably others who need them. Pay is answering phones. We should be able to take care of important refills as well. If you can't figure things out or if not getting what you need, you can text my cell at 254-644-5950, but it may take me a bit as I'll be doing virtual visits.

UPDATE:
Still dangerous for tomorrow am, so we close in am and will try to open at 1 pm Tuesday. I will do telemeds again Tue am for those who need them. Tim Martindale.

Monday Jan 26 2026 is too cold and icy and unsafe for clinic to open Mon am, so we are rescheduling or doing virtual visits for Monday morning appointments. Likely tomorrow am, we will do the same for the afternoon. We plan to be open Tuesday. We will still answer phones and take care of refills and messages from home Monday. Dr. Martindale

Bulgarian split squats
I have a long ways to go, but to make sure I have the stamina and health to work a lot more years, I am in my fourth month with the trainer Jerry Snyder. Today he mentioned that any exercise that has a European name is unlikely to be simple, after we had finished it (very beginning style) and I did not need to be told that.

Clinic is closed for Thanksgiving weekend Thu/Fri/Sat/Sun. We open again Mon 8 am 11/28/22. Dr. Martindale is on call for emergency needs (call clinic or text him), is available for necessary refills that cannot wait, or telemedicine visits so we can avoid the emergency room if not needed. May your weekend be safe, nutritious, restful.

We are in the middle of a significant Omicron/COVID surge in Waco. Our clinic is still in the thick of helping with this.
1. We are testing every day. Call 254-262-3188 to set up testing and telemed appt to review care/concerns
2. There are some great options for treatment now, which we are doing daily. Meds like Paxlovid and Molnupiravir. This requires some discussion and review of meds to prescribe, but it is paid for by the government. There is also Monoclonal antibody treatment, though low on supply in Waco currently.
3. We have the Moderna booster vaccine available; we have been doing this Mon/Wed/Fri.

With the snow and ice this am, we are delaying opening till 10 am, and then re-evaluate. We are still doing telemedicine today from homes.

High alert this coming week in Waco. COVID delta is here and booming with higher contagiousness and a bit less protection for the vaccinated (about 80%), so we should be careful again for a bit. Thankfully, many of you are protected, but even you should be thoughtful for the sake of others. It's hard to go back to cautious when we had just felt the pressure/danger easing.

All the usual: masks when in groups, especially of unvaccinated; lots of hand-washing; keep your health strong to maximize your immune system (good sleep/nutrition/positive thoughts and attitudes/fitness); breathing (deep breathing 10x 3x/d and prone breathing 15 min 2x/d) and supplements such as Vit D (D3 5000 units daily/C (500 mg daily)/zinc (25-50 mg daily).

We had quite a few that tested positive in our parking lot this past week, the hospitals are filling up (and numerous health workers are sick) and I have been coaching sick patients this weekend. We used all our vaccine this past week, but are expecting more. We will be wearing masks at our clinic (staff and patients; we have masks if you need one), and seeing sick patients in the parking lot. We can still do telemedicine if you need help or medicine but don't want to get out (this is no longer available for controlled substances).

Icy Week Schedule!

I drove (5 mph for 1 mile) to weatherize clinic building today (Sunday) and ice covers roads and the parking lot. It is not safe.

Due to cold/snow/ice/winds, we will not open our building Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, February 15-17 2021. All our staff will work from home, so we will answer phones (254-262-3188) regular hours, answer questions, send in refills, do telemedicine (both NP Jessica and I have appts available) all day Monday, Tuesday till noon, all day Wednesday, and we hope to be back in the clinic building on Thursday. We will not do COVID testing in the parking lot till it is safe, but we can discuss and manage it by telemedicine. If you can't get through easily, email me at tim@martindalemed.com or use the portal or text me.

A common question is vaccine availability at our clinic. We are approved as a vaccine dispensing site for our patients; we have ordered vaccine, but we have not received any yet; not sure when we will, but we are keeping names on a waiting list.

Stay safe, drive minimally, call us when you need us!
