Southwest Gastroenterology and Southwest Endoscopy are implementing the following protocol to maximize the safety of our patients and staff:

​

1. All staff members have been tested and are negative for COVID-19 with FDA approved RT-PCR method and routinely use COVID safe practices as recommend by NMDOH and the CDC.

2. All patients and staff members are screened for fever, chill, cough, flu-like symptoms, and their forehead temperatures are checked daily. Also, all patients and staff are in compliance with the current New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) Social Distancing & Travel Restrictions.

3. We ask you to cancel/delay your appointments if you do not feel well. Please call 505-999-1600.

4. All patients and staff are required to wear masks while on the premises. Southwest Gastroenterology will exchange any mask considered non-acceptable.

5. Caregivers/visitors must stay in the vehicle for the duration of the patient visit.

6. After check-in, you may be asked to stay in your car until you are notified to come into the facility.

7. Patients need to have negative COVID-19 tests prior to their procedure. We are happy to assist you with your tests.​
