Coronavirus (COVID-19 Virus) Precautions (updated 3/30/20)

Coronavirus a rapidly evolving situation and we share your concerns about the health and welfare of our community.  We are doing our part to limit the spread of COVID-19 by swiftly implementing precautionary measures in our offices for the time being. We are committed to keeping you informed about these updates and encourage you to check back here for the latest information.

To protect our community while continuing to safely provide our patients with the care they need, we are implementing the following changes to our operations based upon current guidance of public health authorities in addition to our own best judgement to limit potential exposure to COVID-19 in our offices:

• We are asking ALL patients with a cough, difficulty breathing, fever of 99.6 or higher, or who have been in contact with someone with any of these symptoms for the past two weeks, to call us to reschedule their appointments until COVID-19 tests have been widely distributed throughout the Central Texas area.
• We are actively reaching out to patients to cancel all non-urgent appointments and procedures.  Our staff will reach out to these patients again at a later date to reschedule.
• We are  screening every patient, visitor, physician, and staff member for symptoms related to COVID-19 (including temperature) prior to entering our facilities.
• We are restricting caregiver and family member access into our offices. For your safety and ours, we ask that all caregivers and family members wait in their cars during patient appointments or procedures.
• We are seeing patients via Telehealth Visits.  Anyone who is interested in a Telehealth Visit should call our office to schedule.

If you have not heard from Austin Gastro about canceling your existing appointment, and you are unsure if you should come into our office as scheduled, please call your AG office to inquire.  A listing of our offices and contact info can be found here.

Again, the health and safety of our patients and staff remains our highest priority at Austin Gastroenterology. We will continue to follow guidance provided  by State and Local public health authorities such as  the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), and modify our operations accordingly so we can continue to safely provide our patients with the care they need.
