Our Safety Protocols

Magnolia Families,

The safety of our patients, families and staff is a top priority.  At Magnolia Pediatrics we are closely following the recommendations of our state and local public health departments, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC.   We want to let you know what we are doing to keep our patients, families and our staff safe while continuing to provide sick and well care in our office. 

• Video visits for ill children and other issues that do not require an in-person appointment
• Modifications in the use and flow of our office space to maintain physical distancing and reduce potential risks of exposure
• More thorough cleaning procedures before and after each visit following CDC guidelines
• Installation of Aeus Air Scrubber Filters in our HVAC system that utilizes UV and other technologies to purify the office air
• We will be following the new masking guidelines per Califnornia Health Department and the Marin County Health Department.  

As we adjust to the new reality of life with the novel Coronavirus, we must continue to be vigilant and do all we can to protect our families and loved ones, particularly those who are at high risk for severe disease. We share the concerns of pediatricians nationwide that as children miss their well visits and fall behind on their immunizations, there is risk of a resurgence in vaccine-preventable illnesses in our communities.  As we move away from the pandemic, it is important to keep your children up to date with their routine well visits and immunizations. Well visits are a vital part of the preventative care we provide as pediatricians and are necessary to ensure that our patients are growing and developing normally. Immunizations, developmental and behavioral assessments, vision and hearing screens, and a complete physical exam allow for early detection and timely treatment of medical conditions.

If you are unsure if your child is due for a check-up or would like to schedule an appointment, please call our office at (415) 380-8700.

We sincerely hope that this message finds you and your family healthy and well and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
