Covid-19 Response
The clinic is still operating during Covid-19, but I have been doing 100% telemedicine as of mid-March. I see a mix of Zoom evaluations and phone calls. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to continue operating a business during the pandemic. I am seeing fewer new clients, mostly follow-ups. The impact of the virus on the kids has been quite variable. Some have reduced stress due to social distancing. Some have increased fears especially kids with germophobia and separation anxiety if parents are essential workers. The response to telemedicine has been immense gratitude. We have no idea when we will see patients in the office again, but hoping to make some decisions by June.
