Your health and safety remains our top priority. To provide the highest quality of care, while limiting exposure to virus transmission, we will continue to enforce COVID19 safety measures, including:
Mandatory masking policy, at ALL times while in the office
COVID-19 risk screening questionnaire completed before each appointment
Telehealth visits in place of in-person appointments whenever possible
Temperature checks at arrival
Physical distancing of at least 6 feet
Attending appointments by yourself
COVID-19/SARS testing required for ALL patients during treatment - sometimes repeatedly
Cancel/delay treatment if a patient falls ill, fails screening, or outside regulations require so
Staggering OC Fertility team members, including physicians, to limit exposure risk
Mandatory 14-day quarantine following any public transit, such as commercial airline, train, or bus.
At this time, Orange County Fertility advises patients to use the viral COVID-19 PCR for testing (“swab” test) and
NOT the antibody test. In addition to us, the following facilities may be able to accommodate your testing needs:
