Gynics Associates is committed to the health and safety of our patients, families, visitors and team members. We are closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and guidelines provided by the CDC and Texas Medical Association.

In an effort to minimize exposure and help prevent the spread of COVID-19, we have instituted the following policies:

1. We are currently continuing to require masks as per CDC guidelines indicating healthcare facilities should continue to require masks.
2. We discourage visitors, but if you need to be accompanied to your appointment by a friend or family member we will limit visitors to one healthy adult per patient. Visitors who have signs of respiratory illness or have traveled to countries on the CDC’s travel advisory list cannot attend your visit
3. All patients/visitors are required to sanitize their hands upon entering and exiting the office.
4. If you arrive for your appointment showing signs of illness you will be asked to return to your car. A medical assistant or physician will call you to determine if you may be see. However, we may elect to reschedule your appointment.
