Message from Office of Dr. Cotter

We wanted to let you know our office has remained open through these weeks to help you with your gyn problems, although routine care has been delayed to encourage everyone to maintain social distancing, and hopefully remain safe.

As lock down restrictions are lessening, we plan to restore office visits for routine, as well as problem visits effective May 15th.

We are asking high risk individuals and women 65 or older, delay routine visits until July 1st.  Of course, we remain open to all for problem visits at any time.

Although we will be open for all visits, office practices will be revised for your protection. The following are office changes to expect:

• If you have symptoms of COVID-19 (Fever, Cough, Shortness of Breath) or know you have been exposed to COVID-19 in the two weeks prior to your visit, we ask you to reschedule.
• Face masks are necessary to enter the office.
• Reception area will be limited to only 2 persons at a time, with seating at least 6 feet apart.
• If the reception area has more than 2 persons waiting, we may ask you to wait in your car and call you on your cell phone when it is time to be roomed.
• We are spacing visits further apart to limit the number of patients in the office at one time.  Since this effectively cuts the number of available office visits in half, it is very important that you show up on time and keep the scheduled visit.  The only way we can maintain safe distancing is with everyone’s cooperation. Every missed appointment is a loss of visit time for another patient waiting to be seen.
• We ask that you come to your visit alone unless you have a caretaker necessary for your assistance.

We look forward to seeing you all.

Stay well.

Dr. Renee Cotter, MD
