COVID-19
Terrace Pediatric Group is monitoring the current outbreak of the new Coronavirus, COVID-19 on a daily basis. We will continue to follow the standard infection transmission precautions for healthcare facilities and follow all recommendations from the Tennessee Department of Health to help decrease any possible exposures to our patients, their families and our staff. Our goal is to keep everyone safe and healthy.
There are many unknowns about this virus and as the recommendations change, we will continue to share information with you.
We are not currently testing for COVID-19 in our office. If you believe you are at risk, please call the Vanderbilt Health COVID-19 Hotline at 888.312.0847.
Effective March 24 our office protocol has changed as we try to best comply with Mayor Cooper and Governor Lee's Stay at Home recommendations.
- Well-Child Check-ups will be done only for those patients who are 5 years old or younger.
- Well-Child Check-ups will be done between 9:00 – 10:30 and 1:00 – 2:30.
- Sick Visits will be done between 10:45 - 11:30 and 2:45 - 4:00.
- Please try to limit the visit to 1 parent and 1 child if possible; we know this may be difficult for some families.
- All physicians and nurses with direct patient contact will wear a mask and gloves and will adhere to strict handwashing protocols.
- We will try to get patients into designated well rooms and sick rooms within a few minutes of their arrival. At certain times, we may ask patients to wait in the car until they are called back to a room.
- We will remain open on Saturday mornings for sick visits only.
- We will offer Telemedicine visits for chronic issues or illness so that you do not have to leave your house. If you want to schedule a Telemedicine appointment, please call our office as you would for any other appointment, 615.327.9371
