Your health is of the upmost importance to us. Skagit Northwest Orthopedics remains open at our Mount Vernon location on Continental Place and Anacortes location on Commercial Avenue to serve the medical needs of our patients and community.
We wish to evaluate you as soon as possible. In an effort to do so, we are now offering telemedicine visits through a secure video-call application. Now, you can meet with your provider from the safety of your own home. Please call 360-424-7041 to schedule or speak to a staff member who can help answer questions and schedule an appointment (either virtually, or in person if necessary).
We are prioritizing visits for the treatment of time sensitive conditions per recommendations from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Washington State Department of Health. For the safety of you and other patients, we will be screening everyone before they enter one of our clinics. ALL providers and employees are also being screened daily at all of our locations, in compliance with the latest guidelines.
We ask that you remain at home if you have a cough and/or fever or if you have exposed to someone with these symptoms. Please contact your primary care provider immediately if you have any of these symptoms. We ask that adult patients who do not need assistance come into the clinic by themselves to limit visitors.
