We continue to take everyone's health and safety seriously. All of our staff have been vaccinated and boosted and we have purchased even more air purifiers for use in the clinic. We still require masking and we are continuing to monitor the CDPH and OSHA guidelines as well as any state and county guidelines. If you have concerns please talk to us and also consider utilizing telehealth as an option so that your child can continue to receive the care that they need especially during times that they are not able to access in person care. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns. Please see our policy on quarantining after exposure and positive test results in our FAQ. This is updated based on CDC guidelines.
