To Our Patients,

We are a healthcare facility. By law, California medical offices and hospitals require masks to be worn. We look forward to when this is no longer the case.

CURRENTLY - MASKS ARE REQUIRED BY PUBLIC HEALTH LAW. Dozens of patients a day are showing up without masks. WE NO LONGER PROVIDE MASKS TO PATIENTS OR GUESTS. You will not be allowed entry to our office without a mask. This is for the safety of our staff and our patients.

Masks can be purchased across the street at Cal Oaks Pharmacy

If this makes you late for your appointment you may have to reschedule.

To Our Patients and Colleagues,

We are happy to announce that after 6 months of effort, our expansion suite, #250 across the hall, is now open! Suite 250 is across and up the hall about 15-20 steps, just past #260, on the left. This new suite has a large waiting room, two bathrooms, many exam rooms and is fully staffed for patient care.

Effective February 28, Monday. our visitor policies are as follows:

1. NST (non-stress tests) are in a shared room so we will continue to restrict visitors (except when needed for support or assistance).
2. For all other appointments, ONE visitor (one adult or one child) is allowed.
3. Everyone must wear a mask at all times in the office.
4. We are NOT asking patients or visitors if they are vaccinated.
5. Safety requirements include mandatory mask-wearing for patients, visitors and staff; use of hand sanitizers; waiting room spacing (using the text message system); and others.

eNewsletter we sent May 11, 2020, clarifying our visitor policy. Our group made the difficult decision to restrict all visitors to the office for the time being. We await new guidelines from the State, the City of Pasadena, and from Huntington Hospital so that we can re-evaluate this policy.

Everyone's health and safety is of utmost concern and we know that there is a high percentage of people who are asymptomatic with the virus, but are still highly contagious to others. Limiting all visitors protects our staff and other patients from possible exposure. Thank you for your understanding.
