We are offering the rapid antigen COVID-19 test for our established patient that are 21 years of age and under ! Please read the following instructions to schedule the test:

Please do not walk into the clinic for testing! The test requires an appointment for an office visit. Please call our office at 904-222-6364 to schedule your appointment.
Please try to limit the visitors to the guardian/parent and the patient.
Masks or cloth covering are mandatory for everyone ages 2 and up that will be coming to the office. Children younger than 2 years of age SHOULD NOT wear a mask or covering on the face.
We ask you to arrive 20 minutes before your appointment to fill out paperwork.
Once you arrive , please stay in your car and call our office. We will then give you paperwork to fill out in your car. Once you are done with the paperwork call us again and our physician will take your medical history. After that is completed we ask you to drive to the back of the building and look for “ DOOR 105” sign on the back entrance door of the building . Wait in the back of the building parking lot and our staff will escort you directly to the room.
Once you are in the room the physician will take your child’s vitals and do a quick physical assessment and perform the nasal swab to obtain the specimen. Then your visit will be complete and you will be asked to leave from the same entrance you entered.
Your test results will be available the same day.
If you need a copy of your test results , you will have to pick it up from our office or register for the patient portal to receive it.

COVID-19 UPDATES

The CDC recommends children 2 years and up to wear a cloth face covering to cover their nose and mouth, so we kindly ask children 2 years and up and who accompanies them to wear that cloth face covering when they come to our office. Do not use the covering on children younger than 2 years of age.

In an effort to help stop the spread of covid-19 pandemic and protect our patients, staff, and communities, Tuka pediatrics have implemented the following changes until further notice:

All visits for children who are well will be attempted to be scheduled in the morning. The last appointment for a well-child visit will be at noon.
If your child is sick ( ex. Coughing, fever, shortness of breath, vomiting or diarrhea) you will have to call our office first to determine whether they will need to stay at home, require an office visit, a telemedicine (video chat ) visit, or will need urgent care in the Emergency Room.
If an office visit is needed please limit the visitors to one guardian and the sick child.
Upon arrival please call our office from the parking lot. We will ask you to fill out any paperwork needed in your car. You can also prefill forms that are available on our website before the visit.
If your child has a fever or is coughing significantly if available please let your child wear a face mask before entry to the office. Due to a worldwide shortage of face masks, we will not be able to offer one in the office.
Upon your arrival, you will be escorted with your child from the entrance of the office to the exam room. We are trying to limit the time patients spend in the waiting room to decrease any possible exposure.
Remember we can always schedule a telemedicine visit (video consultation) if we are fully booked and your child needs care.
We follow all CDC guidelines and measures to prevent the spread of this virus and follow any updates that are published.

Thank you for your patience and understanding of the seriousness of this situation. Remember that we all have to play a part in fighting this pandemic. Take precautions and be safe!
