Coronavirus Updates

At Parkside, our goal is to provide the best medical care for your child and keep them healthy! We are doing this in many way includes new services, dedicated offices for healthy visits only, as well as Virtual and Curbside Care for sick visits. Watch as Dr. Jones explains just a few of the ways we are able to protect and care for your child and family.

We urge you to keep your scheduled Well Visit appointments, and to make one if you haven’t gotten around to it yet or might be overdue. All Parkside indoor offices are now designated for well appointments and recheck visits only. With the addition of our Parkside Curbside Care, feel confident that you are bringing your child to a safe and sanitized office for their check-ups and other scheduled appointments. It is important that our kiddos stay up-to-date on their vaccines and protected against other diseases. The American Academy of Pediatrics has reaffirmed its recommendation that all routine Well Child Care continue as usual, given its important role in keeping children healthy. We have available appointments every day and are continuing to screen everyone who enters our building to ensure a healthy environment.

Phase 1 | March 19th – June 9th
Our Curbside Care Clinic opens outside of the Verdae location as an outdoor care option for sick patients exhibiting symptoms such as fever, cough, or respiratory concerns. Indoor offices at all of our locations are reserved for well care only in order to protect patients and team members.

Phase 2 | June 10th – TBD
Our Sick Care Center opens at our new indoor facility on Verdae Boulevard next door to the main Parkside Verdae (Well Care) building. Low risk sick patients will be seen safely inside this facility by providers and team members wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). High risk sick patients will continue to be seen for testing and evaluation conveniently in their car in front of the Sick Care Center. In addition to all of our usual strict cleaning and safety protocols, we have instituted even more at this dedicated center to keep you safe. Indoor facilities at all locations will continue to be reserved for well care only. Please call ahead to schedule an appointment at our Sick Care Center!

Parkside now offers Virtual Visits! We will now be able to see your child for certain visits in the comfort of your home through our secure patient portal on the Healow App.
