Safety Precautions:

PM Kidz is committed to your safety. We conduct evaluations via telemedicine for patients with possible COVID-19 exposure. In-office visits ensure quick registration and immediate placement in sanitized exam rooms. We encourage minimal accompanying individuals and request masks for everyone over two years with COVID-19 symptoms. Our team follows strict sanitation protocols and practices social distancing.

For curbside testing for known exposure or high-risk symptoms, please contact us.

Stay Informed:

Protect yourself and others: wear a mask, wash your hands frequently, and maintain a distance of at least 6 feet from others.
