DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS


Experts worried about parents who arent taking children to doctors appointments

DETROIT Many parents have avoided taking their children to the doctor during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, but pediatricians are concerned about the ripple affect of missing those appointments. I think, I believe the date was March 17, declined by nearly 60% nearly overnight, and what were hearing from our patients parents is theyre afraid to come in, Schafer said. They dont know what to expect.The majority of children arent going to the doctor right now because of those concerns. A recent study by the American Academy of Pediatrics estimates children are missing between 70%-80% of their scheduled pediatric appointments. Please do not delay wellness visits out of fear and concern for COVID-19, Schafer said.
