​New patients and returning patients will have several forms to fill out upon arrival. Prior to your visit, you can go to our website's Forms and click on the forms that apply to you, fill them out and bring them to your visit. This will save time at check-in.

A note from our providers

July 1, 2021 Update
One adult visitor may accompany patients for the first new obstetrical visit and the anatomy ultrasound scan (between 19-22 weeks).  The visitor is asked to remain outside of our office in the first floor main lobby of the building or their vehicle until the patient is called back into the exam room.  Facial coverings are required.  No children allowed except newborns in carriers.

Visalia Ob/Gyn Medical Associates want to express our ongoing commitment to your well being.   Our office will remain open with regular business hours to provide obstetric and gynecologic care. A few things you need to know,
 
 FOR OUR OFFICE

  1. The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. If you are experiencing these symptoms, contact your primary care physician or call Tulare County Health Services regarding testing and care.  We cannot test for COVID-19 through our office.  If you do have flu or cold like symptoms, please do not come to our office or go to the Family Birth Center without calling first.
  2. To minimize the risk of exposure to both patients and staff, we ask that you not bring family or friends with you to appointments. We care for a spectrum of patients, many of whom are at higher risk for serious illness if infected by COVID-19. We have an obligation to do everything we can to protect patients and staff so that we can continue to safely provide care. We certainly understand that this may be a difficult and unwanted transition, particularly with school and daycare closures. Know that this is meant to minimize your risk of disease exposure.
  3. Patients are required to wear facial coverings to enter our office.  (The new masking recommendations for people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 do not apply to health care settings.)
