Central Oregon Pediatric Associates is offering telemedicine for many types of pediatric patient visits in order to provide care while maintaining social distancing.

The virtual tool allows patients to experience a live video visit with a pediatric provider on a video enabled computer, laptop, pad or smartphone utilizing the ZOOM application. The clinic has several physicians online discussing respiratory or non-respiratory issues and COPA has the capacity to expand to serve all our patients with this tool.

The process is simple — patients call the main line and talk to a representative or pediatric registered nurse to determine if telemedicine is a good fit for the visit. COPA will then outline with the patient the details of accessing the service online for an immediate appointment.

In addition to Telemedicine, the clinic continues to see in the clinic our newborn patients and children two and a half and under for their well-child exams.

An in-person examination is essential for these visits to monitor developmental milestones and maintain critical immunization schedules.

COPA maintains regular business hours at locations in Northwest Crossing and Redmond. The east Bend clinic is always open 7 days a week, until 8 p.m. on weekdays and 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
