Due to the Covid-19 virus pandemic in our Community, I have suspended my in-office patient hours until deemed safe by our Federal and State Authorities. Currently, and based on the projections of the Covid-19 surge by our regional hospitals, I will not be seeing patients before the week of May 4, 2020. The peak of the Covid-19 surge in our community is currently projected to be between April 25th and 29th.
On May 1st I will be reassessing the situation to determine when it will again be safe for my patients to conduct office hours for their routine care.
I am taking this action for the protection of my family, my staff, my patients, and for all of the families living and working in our community.
During this time, if you have an emergency or an issue that you feel needs to be brought to my attention urgently, please call me on my cell phone. My cell phone number is area code 609-678-6147. Again, my cell phone number is 609-678-6147. You have 24/7 access to me via this route.
If you have a general question or concern, such as refilling a prescription or rescheduling an appointment, please call my office at 856-429-2212 and leave a message on this answering machine. I will personally be checking the answering machine daily and will call you within 24 hours of your question. If, for some reason, we have not spoken within 24 hours, then please call me on my cell phone.
Thank you for your consideration in this time of crisis in our community. Let us all actively work together with our federal, state and municipal authorities as well as our families, friends and neighbors to take the measures necessary to stay safe and contain, control and eliminate the Covid-19 virus.
Thank you.
Dr. Burke
