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 including new services, dedicated offices for healthy visits only, as well as converting our Verdae location to a Sick Care Center. 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 (aside from Verdae Sick Care Center) are now designated for well appointments and recheck visits only. With the addition of our dedicated Sick Care Center, 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.

Our Sick Care Center is located inside the Verdae location as a convenient dedicated sick care option for patients exhibiting symptoms such as fever, cough, or respiratory concerns. Indoor offices at the rest of our locations are reserved for well care only in order to protect patients and team members. To schedule a sick appointment for your child, give our office a call at 864-272-0388!

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.

• Appointments: All Virtual Visits are by appointment only. Call our office at 864-272-0388 during business hours to schedule your virtual appointment.
• Types of Visits: In a Virtual Visit, we can see most sick visits as well as prescribe and refill medications. Well visits will continue to be in our offices which are reserved for healthy appointments only.
• Insurance: Because of COVID-19, insurance companies will cover the visit as they would a visit in the office.
• Access: Virtual Visits are done through our secure patient portal on the Healow App. Our practice code for logging in is: IGCCDA. Click here for step-by-step instructions on attending a virtual visit from the Healow App.

Walk-In Visits: For now, we will NOT have walk-in visits. All appointments will need to be scheduled. Please call us if your child needs to be seen for any reason, we are here for you.

Evening Urgent Care Hours: Closed until further notice; call our office any time for after-hours assistance.

Classes: In order to further reduce the number of people in our office, our classes have gone virtual. Click here to see a full list of what we are offering this fall.
