IMPORTANT COVID-19 NOTICE to Our Pediatric Patients/Parents
Like all of you, we are working hard to adapt what we do to the changing needs of our community due to the Covid-19
pandemic.
Northeast Pediatric Associates remains committed to providing excellent pediatric care. We encourage all of you to
continue to schedule & attend your well visits. Routine care and vaccinations remain essential to the health of your
child & our community! Call now to schedule your FLU VACCINE!
For in-person visits: ONLY scheduled patients and their parent/guardian should attend. We do not recommend that any
other guests/siblings attend unless absolutely necessary.
All of our well visits are being scheduled in the morning and sick visits in the afternoon. Please expect us to
contact you by phone the day prior to confirm that your child and the person bringing them to their visit are well
for well visits, and to ask screening questions for our sick visits. For well visits, you will need to reschedule if
you have fever, cough, or other flu-like symptoms. We also have telehealth appointments available.
We have Rapid Antigen testing and PCR testing for COVID-19 if needed to clarify returning to school or daycare.
In addition to our normal cleaning measures, we have enhanced our office cleaning procedures such that we are even
more frequently cleaning doorknobs, waiting room chairs, patient rooms and other surfaces. We have removed all
stickers, lollipops, treasure boxes and books from our offices so that these things cannot spread illness. Please
feel free to bring your favorite toys from home to entertain your child while here.
Make sure to sign up for our patient portal at www.npa-sa.com. We will be using the portal to inform
patients/parents of important information.
We are closely monitoring guidance from San Antonio Metropolitan Health District and Centers for Disease Control and
adapting our approach based on their guidance. We are committed to doing our part to reduce the spread of this
virus. As always, we thank you for entrusting us with the care of your precious children.
