Important Information from Rockville Gynecology on Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Your health is very important to us at Rockville Gynecology. We are now available to see you in-person for routine gynecologic care, including well woman visits. Tele-visits are still available when an exam is not required.
The safety of our patients and staff is of upmost importance. Patients must wear a mask when they come to the office. Only patients are allowed to enter the office (unless they are a minor or have special needs, then one person is allowed to accompany them). Everyone will be screened for symptoms of COVID-19, and have their temperature checked. Rooms are thoroughly disinfected after each patient.
We look forward to seeing you again!
COVID-19 UPDATES
Rockville Gynecology is closely monitoring the developments around the spread of the Corona Virus (Covid-19). As we are dedicated to the overall health of our patients and employees, we ask that if you are ill for any reason, whether you were exposed to Covid-19 and are experiencing flu-like symptoms such as fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, body aches, or headache, we ask that you please reschedule your appointment.
People over the age of 60 are at higher risk for complications if they are infected with COVID-19. Because of this, we are encouraging Patients' over the age of 60 to reschedule any routine or non-urgent appointments.
We are here to support you! We are only seeing patients for urgent needs during the outbreak. We are scheduling tele-medicine visits for all other needs during regular business hours. We look forward to when we can resume seeing patients again!
Please stay safe! Reminders on how to do this:
