COVID-19 UPDATE

Dear Patient,

We hope all is well with you and your loved ones. Due to the current pandemic, we have modified our schedule in order to limit exposure in between patients. Our staff is ready to care for your dermatological needs with all protective measures. We want to let you know that we are open for in-person or for virtual visits. For the Gramercy location call 212-673-5633, for Jackson Heights location call 718-255-1542. For appointment requests email us at [email protected].

The Governor of New York, Kathy Hochul has announced that effective February 10, 2022, businesses in NYS no longer need to require a “fully vaccinated environment” in order to allow individuals to go mask-less. Masks are still required in health care settings, and masks will still be required regardless of vaccination status at DermgroupNYC.

We take this responsibility seriously and work diligently to keep our office clean and ensure your safety while visiting us. We encourage Covid-19 vaccination/boosters for all who are currently eligible, as vaccines have proven safe and effective. In that spirit, we made Covid-19 vaccination mandatory for employees.

We continue to follow all CDC recommendations and many of our protocols supersede those recommendations. For your convenience and to reduce the risk of transmission, we encourage forms and insurance cards to be emailed.

The following measures are still in effect:

Please arrive wearing a mask and wash hands with hand sanitizer upon entering the office.

Please do not arrive earlier than 5 minutes before your appointment, you will be asked to wait outside if your arrival time is too soon.

All magazines, toys and ipads have been removed from the waiting room to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 as well as other bacteria and viruses.

Only one adult will be permitted to accompany the child/ children. Please do not bring other children if they do not have an appointment.

The waiting room is will have very limited capacity based on the current COVID-19 numbers in our area.

If more than one parent/ guardian/nanny per family arrives at the office they may not wait in the waiting room.

Cleanliness and impeccable infection control have always been hallmarks of our practice brand, however, you may notice us taking these measures to another level, especially when it comes to our enhanced PP (personal protective equipment). Rest assured that our team will continue to provide the same level of care under our new uniform!

Please, if you are feeling sick or if anyone in your household has been sick with COVID symptoms within the past 2 weeks, notify our staff and kindly reschedule your appointment. Upon rescheduling, you will need to send us a negative PCR test 24-48 hours before your appointment.

We kindly ask for your cooperation and please do not ask the staff to make exceptions to these policies as they are in place to protect all the patients that visit DermgroupNYC Please reach out to us

All our best in good health,

DermgroupNYC
