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. From here, they will receive paperwork and a buzzer for when their appointment time comes. When the buzzer goes off, they may enter the office.
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.
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 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.
