We are working hard to ensure the health and safety of our patients and staff by segregating sick from well children. In our Woodinville office, well visits will be seen primarily in Suite 102, and sick visits in Suite 205. We will have signs at the front door of Suite 102 indicating which doctors are in Suite 205 that day. In Mill Creek we will be scheduling patients where COVID-19 or other contagious illness is a possibility at the end of the day.

We ask you to:

  • Wear a mask and keep it on for the entire visit. If your child is having difficulty wearing a mask, see here for advice.
  • Please utilize hand-sanitizers in our office

Our staff will:

  • Take the temperature of all who enter the office.
  • Anyone that presents for a well visit with a fever and/or symptoms of COVID19 will be asked to reschedule or be seen in suite 205 if time permits.
  • Wear masks at all times
  • Wash /sanitize hands frequently
  • Sanitize surfaces and equipment frequently

We are offering telehealth appointments as well.

If you have not yet signed up for the patient portal, we encourage you to do so here.

COVID TESTING SENT FROM OUR OFFICE

If we perform a nasal swab in Woodinville, we may be able to do the test on-site. If sent out for testing, these are sent out to either the UW or Labcorp laboratories. These tests may take up to 4 days to come back. We will let you know when we have received results. If the results return on Saturday or Sunday, the on-call physician may not always have access, so you may need to wait until Monday to get them. We appreciate your patience during these stressful times.

Covid Symptoms

People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19. We are currently triaging patients with fever and possible COVID-19 symptoms over the phone. If your child has possible symptoms of COVID19 and you believe he or she may need testing, please call our office. Our nurses will review your child’s symptoms and help determine if drive through testing is appropriate or if an in-person evaluation is warranted. There are several locations locally where you can get a COVID19 test. Our patients are frequently utilizing the City of Seattle COVID19 testing sites (Aurora or SODO) and Seattle Children’s. If we do schedule you for an appointment in our office, we have a special check-in procedure to follow.

Symptoms can include:

  • Fever or chills
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • Fatigue
  • Muscle or body aches
  • Headache
  • New loss of taste or smell
  • Sore throat
  • Congestion or runny nose
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhea
