COVID-19 Updates


Our office has been closely following the guidelines and advice set forth by global and local health experts. As of 5/29/2020, we are enacting the following modifications to our office:


  • The office is open during our normal office hours, however the entrance doors are locked. No one will enter the facility before they are screened for fever and Covid 19 exposure. 
  • When you arrive for an appointment, please remain in your car and call the office to check-in. Pediatric patients will enter through door 207, MDVIP patients will enter through door 206. Please do not approach the door until you have spoken to our staff and had your temperature taken.
  • We are scheduling appointments for all essential and non-essential visits. We have restructured our schedules to ensure the safety of our staff and our patients. If you scheduled an appointment for June or July, it may need to be moved to a different time or changed to a tele-health visit. Please expect to receive a call from our office, however you are welcome to call with any questions.
  • We are able to test our symptomatic patients for Covid 19 in our parking lot, if you are experiencing symptoms, please call for an appointment. 
  • Our phones will now turn off at 4:30pm. Dr. Schmidlein's Friday hours will remain the same.
