Blue Sky Fertility is taking every precaution to keep our patients, staff and providers safe.
If you are experiencing flu like symptoms, have visited a high-risk area, or have come into contact with the virus, we ask you wait 14 days before visiting the Blue Sky Fertility offices, and please seek out qualified medical care. Call your provider ahead ahead of time to ensure they are aware that you will be coming in so they are prepared for your arrival.
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Blue Sky Fertility is committed to improving the lives of women every day. As part of our mission, we remain dedicated to the health and welfare of our staff and our patients. To that end, we are closely monitoring the outbreak of the coronavirus known as COVID-19.This is an evolving issue with new information coming forth daily. As a health care organization, we are closely monitoring directives from the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Kansas/Missouri Department of Health and other news sources.For most of the American public, the immediate health risk from COVID-19 is considered low. People who have been in close contact with someone with a confirmed case of COVID-19 and travelers to affected international locations are at elevated risk of exposure.While research is ongoing, there is currently no vaccine available to prevent coronavirus or medication to cure the infection. Supportive care, including hospitalization and even intensive care as needed, has been used to successfully manage symptoms in many patients.
Precautions you should take
• Stay at home if you are sick and restrict contact with other people. Even at home, remain at least six feet away from other people while you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
• The CDC continues to recommend against the use of face masks for people who do not have symptoms.
Symptoms of COVID-19
• Mild to severe respiratory illness, particularly in older people
• Sore throat
• Fever
• Cough
• Difficulty breathing
If you have any of these symptoms
Call your physician or the Kansas/Missouri Department of Health for instructions.
To limit potential exposure to other patients, do not go to your doctor’s office, or any doctors office, without calling first.
If you are instructed to go to a doctor’s office or Emergency Department, notify the front desk staff of your symptoms immediately upon arrival so they can provide you with a mask and isolate you.Tell your health care provider about any recent travel or contact with people who have traveled internationally.Your health care provider will work with the Kansas/Missouri Department of Health and the CDC to determine if you need to be tested for COVID-19.
For patients who are pregnant
We know that pregnant women can contract coronavirus, but information on whether or not the infection can be transmitted to the fetus is less clear. In an abundance of caution, we encourage pregnant women to avoid large gatherings. When possible, this could include limiting some social activities, working from home rather than going to the office and participating in college courses online rather than in person.
Steps Blue Sky Fertility is taking
Blue Sky Fertility staff members are receiving instruction and ongoing updates about COVID-19, hand hygiene and other safety measures to decrease the likelihood of contracting or transmitting the infection.We are sanitizing all work areas at least twice daily.Staff is screening all patients to identify those who have traveled to any high-risk areas within the past 14 days and/or those who are having symptoms.
We continue to encourage our staff and patients to get the flu vaccine if they have not already done so this season.

“Dr. Riggs and the entire staff were top notch. I have said on a few occasions that my wife and I received VIP treatment. He valued and respected our time, and was thorough in explaining each step of the IVF process. I felt that we were closely monitored from retrieval through the embryo transfer, and made sure that we were an active participant in each decision along the way. It is with high regard that I recommend Dr. Riggs and his staff for fertility challenges.”

“The best thing Dr. Riggs said to us on our first visit was, "If you want a baby, I'll give you a baby." We are currently 4 months along and only went through one IVF cycle. Dr Riggs is extremely knowledgeable with infertility and I believe does everything possible to make sure you get what you ultimately want....a child. I never felt like they were there just to make money off of us. We highly recommend Dr. Riggs!!!”

“I have been recommending Dr. Riggs since I met him in May. In the scary world of infertility, he seems to ease the stresses of trying to conceive to with his knowledge, caring attitude, warm smile and proper treatment plans. His nurse, Michelle, has been our rock through our IVF cycle and has gone above and beyond to make sure everything was flawless. The girls in the office are so sweet and caring and understand your needs while going through during a tough time. These people have touched our lives forever and our family will always be grateful to Dr. Riggs and his staff.”
