Coronavirus precautions
- For everyone's safety, we're taking extra precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic. These include thorough disinfection between patients and physical distancing, which may result in longer wait times.
- For space and safety reasons, we'll be seeing one patient at a time. You may bring one other person with you only if you are a minor, need an interpreter, or need assistance due to disability.
- Please sign in on the waiting list at the door when you arrive. We will call or text your cell phone when it's your turn.
- Everyone must wear a face covering, per UCSF policy.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
