Same-Day Appointments
At NewYork-Presbyterian Medical Group Brooklyn, we want you to feel confident about returning for your next in-person appointment. Our top priority is your health and safety, so we have expanded our safety measures. We have made changes to protect you and our care teams. For example:
- Skip the front desk and waiting room: We have a streamlined check-in process in all our locations. Before you arrive, forms and co-pays will be processed remotely. Where possible, you will skip the front desk, avoid unnecessary time in the waiting room, and proceed directly to the exam room.
- Disinfection and cleaning: Our locations are repeatedly and thoroughly sanitized throughout each day. Exam rooms are cleaned extensively between patient visits.
- COVID screening: You will be prescreened for COVID-19 by answering a questionnaire in advance of your appointment; we will take your temperature upon arrival. Please wear a mask to your appointment.
- Protective equipment: Our care teams follow CDC guidelines. They have the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and wear it at all times. We have also established screening and testing protocols for our care teams to ensure they are completely healthy to treat you.
- Spacing out appointments: We allow additional time between patient appointments to minimize the number of patients in the office at one time and allow for more time to disinfect the office.
