Flu and Symptoms explanation

The flu is a serious respiratory disease caused by the influenza virus. Flu season typically runs from October through May. Symptoms include a fever or chills, head and body aches, fatigue, sore throat, cough, headache, runny or stuffy nose, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Most people who get the flu need to spend time in bed resting, and may feel sick for as long as two weeks.

Our Flu Policy

1. If you have flu, we ask that you not come to our office. Please notify us as soon as possible to reschedule your appointment.
2. All employees are required to stay home if they have the flu.
3. If anyone, either patient or staff has flu like symptoms, they will be asked to leave. If symptoms are ambiguous, masks will be worn and hands washed frequently before and after entering patient care areas.
4. All patients are asked to confirm they do not have the flu when scheduling or confirming appointments within the next 72 hours.

It is all of our responsibilities to keep patients, staff, physicians, and guests healthy this flu season.
