Important Information Regarding COVID-19
Our is not the same practice it was on March 16, 2020:
The practice has been completely reconfigured and significant infection control protocols have been implemented. Every staff member has been completely vaccinated against COVID 19. In addition, we have made changes in our scheduling practices. This is to socially distance our patients and their families from others.

About COVID-19
In recognition of news reports and the ongoing COVID-19 virus-related events, we realize our patients have questions. As dedicated health care professionals, we want you to know that we remain as diligent as ever in protecting the health and safety of our patients and staff. Our practice strictly adheres to and exceeds the standards for infection control by wearing personal protective gear, using hospital-grade disinfectants, practicing the latest sterilization protocols, utilizing single-use disposable materials, and more. Every effort we have in place is to ensure the safety of our patients and staff. We want you to know that we are monitoring this situation very closely, and we will keep you updated regularly.
Symptoms of coronavirus are reported as flu-like, with varying degrees of severity. While we do not know everything about this virus to date, individuals who are elderly and/or immunocompromised appear to be the most at risk of a severe infection. To ensure your health and safety, and the health and safety of everyone at our practice, please reschedule your appointment if you or a member of your household has a cough, fever, and/or flu-like symptoms.
Omicron Variant
The Omicron variant spreads more easily than earlier variants of the virus that cause COVID-19, including the Delta variant. CDC expects that anyone with Omicron infection, regardless of vaccination status or whether or not they have symptoms, can spread the virus to others. California has a requirement that all health care workers be vaccinated or submit to weekly testing. Dr. Maranon and the entire staff have been fully vaccinated since the beginning of the year. Since the Omicron variant has caused a recent surge, all visitors to the office are required to wear a mask.
We thank you in advance and extend our gratitude for your understanding and cooperation. Together, we can help keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our office, and one of our staff members will be more than happy to assist you.
