NYS Incoming Travel Ban

Tuesday, June 30th, 2020

New York state has issued an incoming travel ban on persons coming from states with a high COVID infection rate. Those persons are subject to a 14 day quarantine when entering New York. The list is updated as the situation evolves.

Patients or visitors who have traveled to one of the states on the list will not be allowed into the office until they have passed the 14 day quarantine mark. Please advise the office when scheduling an appointment if you have or plan to travel during these uncertain times.

The current list can be found here.

UPDATE**Visitor Policy**

Friday, June 26th, 2020

This is an update to our office visitor policy effective June 25, 2020.

In line with the easing of restrictions in our region, we have updated our visitor policy.

WCCA will continue its restricted visitor policy for the safety of our patients and staff. While we would like to accommodate visitors for everyone, it is simply not possible at this time.

The following scenarios will be allowed one visitor over the age of 18:

-New patient visit

-Initial post-operative visit

-Treatment planning visit/end of life discussion

-Emergency visit

-Any visit where the patient is under the age of 18 or older than 80

-Any visit where the patient is mentally or developmentally impaired and requires assistance

-Any visit for pregnant patients

No visitors are allowed in the infusion suite. The infusion suite simply cannot accommodate visitors while socially distancing to keep our most immunocompromised patients safe. 

All visitors will required to wear a mask and submit to a no-contact temperature check at the door. Visitors who have been ill are asked to remain at home.

As with patients, those with a temperature or without a mask will not be permitted to enter the office suite.  

Happy Memorial Day!

Thursday, May 21st, 2020

The providers and staff of WCCA wish everyone a safe and healthy Memorial Day weekend. We hope you can enjoy the beautiful weather in a safe, socially distant manner while remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Our office will be closed on Monday, May 25th in honor of the holiday.

WCCA is Now Providing Video Visits!

Friday, April 17th, 2020

WCCA is now providing a video visit option for established patients. During these troubling times, we are doing our best to reduce both patient and staff exposure by eliminating the need for patients to physically come to the office if possible.

Many patients must still be seen in person for a physical exam. However, there are many types of visits that can be easily accommodated through telehealth. These visits may include reviewing test results, discussing treatment plans, evaluate medication response, or various other reasons. During the current public health crisis, most insurance plans are covering video visits at no cost to the patient.

If you have an upcoming appointment, please ask the scheduler or your provider if it can be done via a video visit!
