Coronavirus (COVID-19)

As the Coronavirus situation continues to evolve, patient safety remains our top priority. Since vaccinations are available and the state has returned to a new normal, telephone visits are not available.

The following was printed in the Miami Herald and it should explain why we are unable to offer phone visits to our patients.

The growing emergence of telehealth, or telemedicine, as a way to deliver health care has been a silver lining during the COVID-19 pandemic, But after Gov. Ron DeSantis let an executive order declaring a public-health emergency expire Saturday June 26, 2021 many regulatory flexibilities that health-care providers received during the pandemic, including flexibilities related to telehealth, also expired. As of Saturday June 26, 2021 , telephones are no longer an acceptable platform for delivering telehealth services to patients in Florida. Physicians also cannot use telehealth to prescribe controlled substances to existing patients for treating chronic non-malignant pain.
