@fiesty76, @kamama94 - I have an appointment with my PCP this afternoon and if there are 4 people in the waiting area, I will be sent to wait in my car until my appointment. There is a large seating area that is shared with another provider. I am not a real happy camper, I do love this PCP but the regional hospital and insurance set the rules, so - Even though I was at Mayo a month ago for a thorough post kidney /liver transplant evaluation, I have to see him before I can get a refill on my BP meds which Mayo approved.
As for dentist, I went in early June to complete the COVID19 cancelled appointment. My dentist has a one man office and a small staff. I felt extremely safe in the dentist chair. I hope you are able be equally satisfied.
And for labs, I go at 7a.m. when they open. I am near enough to my lab, and so I drive back to the lab later in the day to pick up a copy of my labs. This way I know if they have been faxed to my transplant dept. and I can see the results immediately.
I'm with you - Wash hands, Wear mask, and Move away from others.
