COVID-19 Updates

Beginning on 5/26, our office will be making a few changes for precautions against COVID-19:

Patients will be driving up under our awning and checking in through their car. We are having a limited number of patients in our waiting room at a time so that social distancing guidelines are followed. From there, the staff will ask screening questions, take the patients temperature, and further instruct the patient from there.
We will be taking temperatures of everyone entering the building. Should a patient have a temperature, they will not be allowed to enter the building and will need to call and reschedule.
We are requiring that all patients wear masks.
Our staff is wearing masks and protective eyewear. We are sanitizing pens, clipboards, and buzzers between patients. As well as, sanitizing common items frequently.
We will also be limiting the number of people in the building to just the patient unless they are handicapped and need assistance. In that case, they will be allowed ONE visitor.
We ask that if you can come alone, you do so. If you are required to bring someone with you, we do limit that to one person.

We will still be strictly following CDC guidelines to always keep our patients safe.

Telehealth

Other patients can be seen with Telehealth services. This service allows patients to be seen via an internet connection. The connection will require a camera, which is a common feature on your computer, phone, laptop, or tablet. Please call our office if you would like to make a telehealth appointment at (605) 217-7000

For patients that call for a telehealth appointment, we will verify that your insurance will cover the visit, and then set a time for you to log into https://sxlandurology.doxy.me. Once you are into this website, you will need to select the name of your provider. This will place you in a wait area, where the provider will join you for your session.
