Dear Patients and Caregivers,
As we continue to monitor the coronavirus situation, we are changing our COVID-19 protocols to protect our patients, their caregivers and our healthcare team as new information and guidance from the CDC becomes available. This is an update based on the latest CDC recommendations.
If you call our office for an appointment, an individual will screen you for any respiratory symptoms or fever. If you have any respiratory symptoms, you will be asked to schedule a Telehealth appointment rather than being seen in the office. If patients need to be seen due to suspected COVID-19 infection, they will be directed to a facility where COVID-19 testing can be done. We are not testing for COVID-19 in our office.
If you walk-in to our practice, we will have signage at the entrance directing everyone with respiratory symptoms to remain in their vehicle and call the front desk for instructions.
New facial covering policy: All patients who are seen in the office will now be required to wear some type of mouth and nose cloth covering for the entire time you are in the office, including while in the exam room for the appointment. If you do not bring a cover with you, we will provide you with one. This is based on the CDC’s recommendation that everyone wear a face cover while in public in places where 6 feet of social distancing is difficult. You can find out more information at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/cloth-face-cover.html.
Visitor Policy remains the same:
o We will limit 1 visitor/family member to all patients. Other visitors/family members will need to wait in their vehicle please.
o If your visitor/family member is sick (fever, sore throat, cough or any other flu-like symptoms), please find another responsible caregiver to escort you to the office.
Our staff has increased our cleaning frequency and cleaning of surfaces to high touch areas.
Please know we are continuing to actively monitor and follow the CDC and State Health Department guidelines through this rapidly evolving situation. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to any of our team members. We can be reached via messages on our patient portal or by calling us at: 901-910-3246.
Thank you for your cooperation and help to keep our patients and team members safe. We will continue to post updates on our website as this situation changes.
Sincerely,
J. Michelle Allmon, M.D.

March 17, 2020
Dear Patients and Caregivers,
As we continue to monitor the coronavirus situation, we are implementing several protocols to protect our patients, their caregivers and our healthcare team.
If you call our office for an appointment, an individual will screen you for any respiratory symptoms, fever, or possible exposure to COVID-19. If patients need to be seen due to moderate or severe symptoms or COVID-19 exposure, they will be directed to a facility where COVID-19 testing can be done if appropriate.
If you walk-in to our practice, we will have signage at the entrance directing everyone with respiratory illnesses or fever to remain in their vehicle and call the front desk for instructions.
Patients that have respiratory symptoms with no fever will receive a mask and be taken directly back to an exam room.
Telehealth services are now available with our providers for non urgent medical conditions via the patient portal access or by phone call. This can be arranged by our healthcare team via messaging our patient portal or a phone call to the office informing us that you would like to schedule a telehealth appointment. Insurance coverage for telehealth services varies, please contact our office for more specific information.
New Visitor Policy
o We will limit 1 visitor/family member to all patients. Other visitors/family members will need to wait in their vehicle please.
o If your visitor/family member is sick (fever, sore throat, cough or any other flu-like symptoms), please find another responsible caregiver to escort you to the office.
Our staff has increased our cleaning frequency and cleaning of surfaces to high touch areas.
We also want to remind everyone to: wash your hands thoroughly and frequently (soap and water for 20 seconds); use hand sanitizer when washing is not available; and avoid touching your eyes, ears, nose and mouth.
Please know we are actively monitoring and following the CDC and State Health Department guidelines through this rapidly evolving situation. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to any of our team members. We can be reached via messages on our patient portal or by calling us at: 901-910-3246.
Thank you for your cooperation and help to keep our patients and team members safe. We will continue to post updates on our Facebook page and website at www.allmonmedicine.com as this situation changes.
Sincerely,
Michelle Allmon, M.D.
