2. ARRIVAL: When you arrive at our building, DO NOT ENTER OUR OFFICE. Instead, wait inside your car or outside, and call our office at (703) 823-2357 to let our staff know you have arrived. If it is a hot day, please leave your car running with the air conditioner on for your health and safety.
3. YOUR APPOINTMENT: When the doctor is ready to see you, a staff member will meet you at your car to take your temperature, ask you a few screening questions, and escort you directly to the treatment room. WEAR A MASK and maintain at least 6 feet of physical distancing, when possible, inside our office. If you do not have adequate face covering, we will need to reschedule your appointment. Payments and follow-up scheduling can be processed at the front desk, but we ask that you stand at the yellow taped area to maintain social distancing.
