AWOG Will Begin Seeing Patients for Preventive and Non-Emergent Care

As always, the safety of our patients and staff continues to be a priority for providing care while practicing social distancing. Atlanta Women’s Obstetrics & Gynecology will begin providing in-office preventive and non-emergent care starting Monday, May 4th. This means that you may start scheduling your annual gynecological visits, consultations, IUD insertions, elective procedures, etc. at this time.

 

In the office, social distancing rules will still apply:

 

·         Only the patient will be allowed in the office for the visit—no extra visitors.

·         All patients will be temperature screened upon entering.

·         Patients must wear a mask while in the office.

 

We are also limiting the number of patients that will be seen in the office each day. Please be mindful that the schedules will fill up much faster because of this. If you are due (or overdue) for your annual visit, please call (404) 352-3616 or schedule an appointment online today!

AWOG Offers a Telemedicine Option for Patients

Atlanta Women’s Obstetrics and Gynecology is now offering remote video visits for our patients with healthcare needs that can be supported via telemedicine. AWOG patients are able to have visits with their physician using doxy.me, an easy and secure platform that can be used from any mobile device or desktop computer. Please call our office during our normal hours of operation to discuss your options today!

Where to Go When it’s Time to Deliver

On the day of your delivery, you may enter the hospital two ways:

A) The Main Entrance on Peachtree Road, or

B) The North Parking Deck Bridge.

The North Parking Deck may be accessed from the hospital entrance on Collier Road. If you are coming from Peachtree Road, it will be the first entrance on the right. If you are coming from Northside Drive, you will pass the 275 Building, turn left into the next entrance and follow the signs to the North Parking Deck.

For your convenience, Piedmont has an interactive map as well as a free downloadable app that can assist you with getting to L&D once you have arrived at the hospital!

AWOG Patients Help Minimize Community Spread

The practice is open and seeing patients and we are taking extra precautions to ensure the safety of our patients and staff at this time. Thank you!
