COVID19
Coronavirus – COVID19
During the COVID pandemic, we at Aquidneck Pediatrics value a safe office experience for all of our patients. As such, we are keeping all sick patients out of the well visit area. We are asking that anyone coming into the office please follow the signs when entering the office. Sick visits are currently being seen in our new sick wing AFTER calling the office to check in. The new sick wing can be entered to the left in the lobby (past the Lifespan lab). Well child exams are still being seen in our regular office. Please also continue to wear masks and limit the number of people coming to visits.
If your child is scheduled for a well child check and anyone in your household is sick or has a pending COVID test or recently tested positive, you must call to reschedule your child’s appointment. This includes shot appointments and follow up appointments. In a continued effort to keep everyone well, we are still conducting COVID screening and will ask you to leave the office with your child immediately if any answer to a question on the COVID screen is “yes.” We thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding.***
If your child has any of the following symptoms of COVID19, we CANNOT currently see your child in our office for a well child check:
Fever or chills
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches
Headache
New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
Congestion or runny nose
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea
This list of symptoms originates from the CDC as potential symptoms of COVID19. As per the CDC, symptoms may present 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. To ensure the safety of our patients, if your child has the above symptoms OR has been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID19 OR has recently traveled domestically OR internationally OR has been in close contact with someone traveling from these areas, please DO NOT come into the office. Please call with concerns and we will direct you as to how to seek care.
***Asymptomatic Testing***
If your child requires asymptomatic (well without symptoms) COVID19 testing, please go to the following website to arrange. If you can not arrange a test on this website, please call 401.654.6990 for further information on scheduling a test.
***Clearance***
Please also be aware that our physicians cannot clear your child to return to school, camp, daycare, etc if they have recently had any of the above symptoms. Your child will need to be fever free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication and be ten days from the start of symptoms OR have a negative COVID19 test to return to activity.
***Mask clearance***
As per the RIDOH release 09/09/2020: “A Rhode Island Executive Order (EO) and subsequent EO extensions require that face coverings be worn when someone is closer than six feet of others in both indoor and outdoor public spaces. Healthcare providers do not have authority to overrule and EO and the EO does not include a provider exemption, so providers may not exempt anyone from wearing a mask.”
**Social Interaction***
We understand these are frustrating times. The clinic is doing everything we can to safely, effectively, and efficiently provide high quality care to children. The physicians request that parents and family members remain calm and respectful when interacting with any Aquidneck Pediatrics employee.
Thank you for your patience in these unprecedented times as we work to provide the safest environment for your family.

COVID19
Coronavirus – COVID19
During the COVID pandemic, we at Aquidneck Pediatrics value a safe office experience for all of our patients. As such, we are keeping all sick patients out of the well visit area. We are asking that anyone coming into the office please follow the signs when entering the office. Sick visits are currently being seen in our new sick wing AFTER calling the office to check in. The new sick wing can be entered to the left in the lobby (past the Lifespan lab). Well child exams are still being seen in our regular office. Please also continue to wear masks and limit the number of people coming to visits.
If your child is scheduled for a well child check and anyone in your household is sick or has a pending COVID test or recently tested positive, you must call to reschedule your child’s appointment. This includes shot appointments and follow up appointments. In a continued effort to keep everyone well, we are still conducting COVID screening and will ask you to leave the office with your child immediately if any answer to a question on the COVID screen is “yes.” We thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding.***
If your child has any of the following symptoms of COVID19, we CANNOT currently see your child in our office for a well child check:
Fever or chills
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches
Headache
New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
Congestion or runny nose
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea
This list of symptoms originates from the CDC as potential symptoms of COVID19. As per the CDC, symptoms may present 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. To ensure the safety of our patients, if your child has the above symptoms OR has been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID19 OR has recently traveled domestically OR internationally OR has been in close contact with someone traveling from these areas, please DO NOT come into the office. Please call with concerns and we will direct you as to how to seek care.
***Asymptomatic Testing***
If your child requires asymptomatic (well without symptoms) COVID19 testing, please go to the following website to arrange. If you can not arrange a test on this website, please call 401.654.6990 for further information on scheduling a test.
***Clearance***
Please also be aware that our physicians cannot clear your child to return to school, camp, daycare, etc if they have recently had any of the above symptoms. Your child will need to be fever free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication and be ten days from the start of symptoms OR have a negative COVID19 test to return to activity.
***Mask clearance***
As per the RIDOH release 09/09/2020: “A Rhode Island Executive Order (EO) and subsequent EO extensions require that face coverings be worn when someone is closer than six feet of others in both indoor and outdoor public spaces. Healthcare providers do not have authority to overrule and EO and the EO does not include a provider exemption, so providers may not exempt anyone from wearing a mask.”
**Social Interaction***
We understand these are frustrating times. The clinic is doing everything we can to safely, effectively, and efficiently provide high quality care to children. The physicians request that parents and family members remain calm and respectful when interacting with any Aquidneck Pediatrics employee.
Thank you for your patience in these unprecedented times as we work to provide the safest environment for your family.

COVID19
Coronavirus – COVID19
During the COVID pandemic, we at Aquidneck Pediatrics value a safe office experience for all of our patients. As such, we are keeping all sick patients out of the well visit area. We are asking that anyone coming into the office please follow the signs when entering the office. Sick visits are currently being seen in our new sick wing AFTER calling the office to check in. The new sick wing can be entered to the left in the lobby (past the Lifespan lab). Well child exams are still being seen in our regular office. Please also continue to wear masks and limit the number of people coming to visits.
If your child is scheduled for a well child check and anyone in your household is sick or has a pending COVID test or recently tested positive, you must call to reschedule your child’s appointment. This includes shot appointments and follow up appointments. In a continued effort to keep everyone well, we are still conducting COVID screening and will ask you to leave the office with your child immediately if any answer to a question on the COVID screen is “yes.” We thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding.***
If your child has any of the following symptoms of COVID19, we CANNOT currently see your child in our office for a well child check:
Fever or chills
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches
Headache
New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
Congestion or runny nose
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea
This list of symptoms originates from the CDC as potential symptoms of COVID19. As per the CDC, symptoms may present 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. To ensure the safety of our patients, if your child has the above symptoms OR has been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID19 OR has recently traveled domestically OR internationally OR has been in close contact with someone traveling from these areas, please DO NOT come into the office. Please call with concerns and we will direct you as to how to seek care.
***Asymptomatic Testing***
If your child requires asymptomatic (well without symptoms) COVID19 testing, please go to the following website to arrange. If you can not arrange a test on this website, please call 401.654.6990 for further information on scheduling a test.
***Clearance***
Please also be aware that our physicians cannot clear your child to return to school, camp, daycare, etc if they have recently had any of the above symptoms. Your child will need to be fever free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication and be ten days from the start of symptoms OR have a negative COVID19 test to return to activity.
***Mask clearance***
As per the RIDOH release 09/09/2020: “A Rhode Island Executive Order (EO) and subsequent EO extensions require that face coverings be worn when someone is closer than six feet of others in both indoor and outdoor public spaces. Healthcare providers do not have authority to overrule and EO and the EO does not include a provider exemption, so providers may not exempt anyone from wearing a mask.”
**Social Interaction***
We understand these are frustrating times. The clinic is doing everything we can to safely, effectively, and efficiently provide high quality care to children. The physicians request that parents and family members remain calm and respectful when interacting with any Aquidneck Pediatrics employee.
Thank you for your patience in these unprecedented times as we work to provide the safest environment for your family.

Did you know that Lyme disease is transmitted by the blacklegged tick, but it has to be attached for at least 36 hours. We recommend nightly tick checks on our kids in order to catch the tick before they can transmit Lyme. Even though it’s fall, these ticks are still around, so keep on checking you kids. Call if you find a deer tick that has been attached longer than 36 hours.

COVID19
Coronavirus – COVID19
During the COVID pandemic, we at Aquidneck Pediatrics value a safe office experience for all of our patients. As such, we are keeping all sick patients out of the well visit area. We are asking that anyone coming into the office please follow the signs when entering the office. Sick visits are currently being seen in our new sick wing AFTER calling the office to check in. The new sick wing can be entered to the left in the lobby (past the Lifespan lab). Well child exams are still being seen in our regular office. Please also continue to wear masks and limit the number of people coming to visits.
If your child is scheduled for a well child check and anyone in your household is sick or has a pending COVID test or recently tested positive, you must call to reschedule your child’s appointment. This includes shot appointments and follow up appointments. In a continued effort to keep everyone well, we are still conducting COVID screening and will ask you to leave the office with your child immediately if any answer to a question on the COVID screen is “yes.” We thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding.***
If your child has any of the following symptoms of COVID19, we CANNOT currently see your child in our office for a well child check:
Fever or chills
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches
Headache
New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
Congestion or runny nose
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea
This list of symptoms originates from the CDC as potential symptoms of COVID19. As per the CDC, symptoms may present 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. To ensure the safety of our patients, if your child has the above symptoms OR has been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID19 OR has recently traveled domestically OR internationally OR has been in close contact with someone traveling from these areas, please DO NOT come into the office. Please call with concerns and we will direct you as to how to seek care.
***Asymptomatic Testing***
If your child requires asymptomatic (well without symptoms) COVID19 testing, please go to the following website to arrange. If you can not arrange a test on this website, please call 401.654.6990 for further information on scheduling a test.
***Clearance***
Please also be aware that our physicians cannot clear your child to return to school, camp, daycare, etc if they have recently had any of the above symptoms. Your child will need to be fever free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication and be ten days from the start of symptoms OR have a negative COVID19 test to return to activity.
***Mask clearance***
As per the RIDOH release 09/09/2020: “A Rhode Island Executive Order (EO) and subsequent EO extensions require that face coverings be worn when someone is closer than six feet of others in both indoor and outdoor public spaces. Healthcare providers do not have authority to overrule and EO and the EO does not include a provider exemption, so providers may not exempt anyone from wearing a mask.”
**Social Interaction***
We understand these are frustrating times. The clinic is doing everything we can to safely, effectively, and efficiently provide high quality care to children. The physicians request that parents and family members remain calm and respectful when interacting with any Aquidneck Pediatrics employee.
Thank you for your patience in these unprecedented times as we work to provide the safest environment for your family.
***WALK-IN HOURS***

****INTEGRATION OF TELEMEDICINE ****.
Even with all the social distancing, we are dedicated to being there for you. We are now caring for our patients via phone or internet secure telemedicine. Please call any time if you have any concerns and we are here for you in these crazy times! We will send you a safe secure internet link to allow you to video chat with your doctor, right from your home. We are so excited to provide this service to our patients! Thanks for your participation.
***AVOIDANCE AND TESTING***
Please continue social distancing, washing hands frequently, and covering coughs. If you or your child are symptomatic, practice self-quarantine. The RIDOH recommends that mild to moderate symptoms be managed at home.
