PSV’s COVID-19 Announcement

Patients and Families,

Please be advised of our latest COVID-19 guidelines and action plan below. PSV still has an important patient care mission but we are modifying practices to minimize the risk to patients, families and staff:

• We are quickly working to implement telemedicine services across the practice and transition patients to a virtual visit when appropriate to their medical condition.
• PSV is also implementing patient and visitor COVID-19 screening at our clinics.  Please be patient and allow for a few extra minutes to go through the screening station.
• Our clinics at Fair Oaks, Woodbridge, and Manassas will temporarily close as they do not have an adequate ability to screen patients and visitors.  Patients will be contacted to make arrangements for an in-person visit at one of our other offices or to participate in a telemedicine visit.
• If the patient or visitor has or had within the last three days a fever and cough, please contact us to reschedule the appointment.

We are all in this together and will continue to take things one day at a time.  We appreciate all of your extra efforts and compliance with our COVID-19 action plan. 

Continue to take care of yourself and each other!

PSV

PSV has implemented social distancing and other protective measures to improve the safety of your experience for yourself and the PSV staff serving you.  Here’s a few things you should know and expect when you arrive for your in-person appointment.

• MASK:  Please ensure that all patients and guests arrive wearing a mask that covers the mouth and nose.  See the CDC website for mask suggestions.
• ​ONE ADULT:  Only one adult is allowed to accompany the patient.  If a second adult is present, we will ask this person to please wait in the car.  If participation is needed for the appointment then he/she may be called on the phone.  ​
• SCREENING:  All patients, families, and visitors will participate in COVID-19 screening before proceeding to the appointment.  You will be asked about symptoms – fever, respiratory symptoms, cough, congestion, chills, repeated chills with shaking, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea – and contact with others that may be COVID-19 positive.

We will continue to monitor and adapt our policies based on the spread of COVID-19.

COVID-19: Information for Families of Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs

Today PSV proudly celebrates its 6-year anniversary on September 30, 2019 as the leading Northern Virginia-based, pediatric specialty care group.

PSV was created on September 30, 2013 by our parent organizations – Children’s National Medical Center and Inova Health System as a unique joint venture to meet the needs of children and families in Northern Virginia.

Over the last six years we’ve been able to grow our list of pediatric specialties from 5 to 22; several of our doctors have been selected as “Top Doctors” by several renowned publication such as Arlington Magazine; Northern Virginia Magazine; Washingtonian, and Virginia Living Magazine; and we’ve been able to maintain extremely high patient satisfaction scores – 93%, likely to recommend PSV overall and 99% likely to recommend PSV’s Ambulatory Surgery Center.

Patients and Families,

Please be advised that effective, April 1, 2019, Pediatric Specialists of Virginia (PSV) patients and families are allowed to park in any unmarked parking spot – from levels 1-7 – in our Hamaker Court garage. 

Pediatric Specialists of Virginia and Children’s National Health System designated spots have been removed to eliminate confusion and frequent congestion experienced in the past. 

We hope that this update will improve the parking experience and allow patients and families to find parking easier, get to their scheduled appointments faster, with less stress.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.

PSV
