I want to provide you some vital and practical information with regards to the Corona virus outbreak. Since the beginning, well prior to the identification of the first confirmed case in Westchester, Dr Gioscia has been kept fully abreast of all accurate medical information through a close friend and Infectious Disease specialist who has worked directly under Dr Anthony Fauci,the Dicector of the NIH. First, we want to assure you that all precautions and safeguards have been and will continue to be taken, which included an early policy of self- containment and isolation. Additionally, we have urged attentiveness to qualified medical professionals with respect to information and avoid the mass-media hysteria and politicization that has unfortunately permeated society.
Dr Gioscia will continue to provide patient care on an individual basis. He remains under the direction and advice of an Infectious Disease specialist with regards to his office and staff. Also, each patient is carefully interviewed for risk of exposure due to work conditions, travel, home, or otherwise. At times, a simple phone conversation will inform and help assure safety.
Please contact his office directly at 914.997.8081.
The office confirms appointments by phone and specifically discusses this matter at that time.
