Anyone who is eligible and needs a COVID vaccine should call the office to schedule an appointment.

Those with a known severe allergy should anticipate an observation period (and should bring their injectable epinephrine to the appointment).

ON-SITE TESTING

RAPID PCR TESTS: These tests detect molecular genetic material. We use anterior nasal swabs to run them. These molecular tests are very sensitive and appropriate for many patients with symptoms or known exposure to COVIDs. This test provides results within 20-40 minutes.

DRIVE-UP TESTING

Following a telemedicine visit for assessment, we can provide drive-up testing in our staff parking lot.

How are you keeping us safe when we visit PANS?

The office is cleaned throughout the day; equipment and exam rooms are sanitized after every patient.

Any ill patients/families over age 2 wear face-coverings. Some staff may wear additional protective equipment.

We minimize exposures as much as possible. Please help us by not bringing siblings along who do not have their own appointment.

Is PANS caring for patients using telemedicine?

Telemedicine appointments can be scheduled for select visits

Clinical screening for appropriateness will be done before scheduling these appointments

What should I expect once we have scheduled an appointment?

To make your appointment more efficient, please use MyChart for electronic forms and for E-check-in or see our forms page for the paper versions and bring your completed age-appropriate forms with you to the appointment.

Families will check in at the front deak & then go directly to a room.

Anyone with ill symptoms (and their family members) over age 2 will wear masks. If you do not have your own, we will give you one to use in the office. Please prepare your children that many staff will wear masks and some may have additional protective equipment.
