Updates Regarding COVID-19 Screening

As we move out of Shelter in Place restrictions and re-opening of business, new screening protocols have been put in place by the CDC and Texas Medical Association. Our office will comply with the screening guidelines. Please make note of these guidelines outlined below:

At St. David’s Medical Center:

• All patients scheduled for operative procedure, induction of labor and cesarean section WILL be tested for COVID-19 prior to their scheduled date. Testing is MANDATORY.
• Any positive COVID-19 results will result in possible cancellation of procedure depending on the nature of the procedure
• Support person for Labor is still limited to one person.

At Gynics Associates:

• Beginning MAY 4TH, we are increasing the number of patients being seen in our office. In order to maintain social distancing we are trying to keep the waiting room empty or at a
  bare minimum.
• We are also screening patients upon entering the office.
• We will not allow Walk-In visits
• If you have brought a child with you, its possible you will either have a car visit, or we will reschedule your visit to a day when you have childcare.
• You will not be permitted to enter if:- You do not pass the screening
  – You have brought a child (less than 18 years old) with you
  – You are a support person/visitor without pre-approval.
  – Without a mask…if you don’t have one, one will be provided for you.

   

  We apologize for this inconvenience. Thank you for your cooperation during this uncertain time. Your health and that of our staff is critical!
