                           Important Coronavirus Update

In response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, 1-to-1 Pediatrics is taking measures to protect our patients and staff from the spread of this infection.  Although it appears that the pediatric population, in general, is NOT at risk for serious disease from the Novel Coronavirus, it is important to minimize spread of this infection both within our practice and the community.  Some of our patients are considered immune compromised while others have lung disease potentially putting them at increased risk (more on this below).  Furthermore it is important to be mindful of relatives of our patients (grandparents, etc.) who might be at risk for serious complications from this infection.  Consequently, we are taking the following measures:

1. Non time-sensitive visits and routine physicals for children over the age of 2 years may be postponed (likely for a few weeks.)
2. Extra sanitizing of doorknobs, counter tops, sinks, pens, etc.
3. Magazines, books and toys have been removed from the waiting and exam rooms.
4. Stickers and toys (for procedures) will be handed to the patient rather than allowing children to dig through the choices.
5. We are limiting unnecessary traffic through the office by requesting that only one parent or caregiver accompany patients to visits. (We will make exceptions for young infants.)
6. Children who do not have appointments to be seen (siblings, etc.) will be asked to wait outside the office (with another adult) or better yet, left at home.
7. We may offer/encourage certain visits to be done with our physicians via remote "tele-medicine" options.
8. Patients who prefer, may wait in their car or outside the office (with the parent or caregiver) until an exam room is available.  We are happy to contact you when ready.
9. We may ask some patients with symptoms possibly consistent with COVID-19 disease to not come into the office.  We will have their exam by the physician done in the vehicle. 
10. The availability of testing through the office is unclear at this time.  We will post an update in regards to this when we have more information.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our patients and families.   At this point, things are in such flux that our recommendations and procedures may change on a daily basis.  Please feel free to check back to this web page for any updates on our office policies.  Otherwise, the CDC website is an excellent source of accurate and up to date information.

To be clear, to date there has only been a handful of cases of severe disease from COVID-19 in the pediatric population in this country or elsewhere in the world.  It does not appear that the pediatric population normally considered "at risk" for complications from influenza is experiencing severe symptoms from this novel coronavirus infection.  The measures we are taking are focused on slowing the spread of the infection within our community as a whole so as to minimize  infection to the elderly population or the adult population with pre-existing or immune compromised states.  In these times, panic is not indicated.  However, thoughtful action, extreme attention to hygiene, and "social distancing" for the time being will help us get through this together.

     In early 2011, after nearly 16 years in a busy group practice, Dr. Nash announced the formation of 1-to-1 Pediatrics, a fee-based, supplemental service designed to complement the in-office care provided to patients of Andrew L. Nash, M.D.  Utilizing an 'old school' service model, Dr. Nash offers individualized, comprehensive, and personal care to families in the San Ramon Valley.  Highlights of 1-to-1 Pediatrics include:

• Availability of the pediatrician 24/7 —have a question? Get it answered right away by your personal pediatrician--the person you trust.
• Initial newborn care from birth to 6 weeks in your home.
• Scheduled "virtual visits" via real-time video chat.
• Comprehensive Athletic Screening Evaluation (CASE).
• Home visits by the doctor—for developmental/behavioral evaluations or sick child care.
• Online access to your secure patient portal--schedule appointments yourself, view your child's medical record, obtain educational resources, and communicate with the doctor or office staff anytime, from any computer.
• Direct dispensing of many commonly prescribed medications. No more waiting at the pharmacy with your sick child.

 
    Our unique approach allows members access to a variety of services not normally available in most primary care practices.

    To allow time to provide these services, enrollment in 1-to-1 Pediatrics is limited.  Please feel free to contact us to inquire about enrolling your family in this unique “hometown style” pediatric service.
