With the surge in Covid-19 cases our procedures are modified to adapt to the challenges of keeping one another safe:
In our TROY Location, due to the parking lot being small we must institute the following procedure:
Again, do not drop off the patient upon arrival. Instead, call the Troy number (518) 274-3123. If the lot is full, we ask that you go to a Public Street Parking area on 8th street and wait there after calling in. Directions are: Turn left on Jacob out of our lot and go up to 8th Street, (Street above Kennedy Towers). Public Street Parking is available on the left and right off Jacob on 8th. Only restricted parking is Thursday’s 9:00am to Noon.
Do not have your passenger, (our patient) walk from 8th St. If you, the patient, are arriving alone and there are no parking spaces available when we call you to come in, please let our office know by telephone and we will direct you as to how to proceed.
When directed by telephone bring the patient to our front door, drop off the patient and then you can return to wait in the same off-site parking area.
You will be called by the patient when they are ready to be picked up at our Main Entrance.
