About: Peconic Pediatrics

In order to help you get your children back to school after an illness, we have a new process that should help.

Keep in mind that it is impossible for us to tell the difference between a usual cold and COVID-19.

If your child needs to be medically cleared to go back to school after an illness, then we need to test your child.  Here’s how you can do it:

• Set up a telehealth visit on our anytime pediatrics app.
• After the visit, we will schedule a time to have a COVID swab done in the parking lot.
• After the test is done (20 minutes) we will send a clearance letter directly to your portal.

What if we need to examine your child after the telehealth visit?

• Sometimes we can do a brief exam (like checking the lungs), right in the car at the time of the COVID test.
• Sometimes we will need to do a full exam in the office and we will schedule that for you.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
