We have officially reopened our South Durham Signature Care office.  This will provide us with better opportunities for safe distancing during the cold and flu season.  Please review your upcoming appointments to verify the specific office site.

We understand that with the changing COVID situation, you may feel uncomfortable coming to the office.  We want to reassure you that we continue to practice safe infection prevention measures including screening of all staff and patients, safe distancing, handwashing and additional cleaning of exam rooms at both of our office sites.

To reduce your wait, we encourage you to use the e check-in through your Maestro application before your arrive for your appointment. Using the e check-in process will help limit your time at the front desk.

For those at our South Durham office, you will be directed for drive up screening before you enter the parking garage.  Once you have been screened and have parked, you can proceed directly to our office lobby on the fifth floor. You do not have to wait in your car or contact the front desk once you have been screened. We ask that you try to arrive 30 minutes prior to your scheduled arrival to complete the process.

Please contact us if you have any specific concerns or questions regarding your appointment or the check in process. Video and extended telephone visits are available if needed to address your chronic and acute healthcare needs.

As a reminder, now is the time to receive your flu vaccine.  We continue to receive shipments of both the quadrivalent and high-dose quadrivalent vaccine. Please contact our office at (919)660-6746 to schedule a time for your vaccine.
