COVID-19 Protocol
In March, prior to nationally published guidelines, comprehensive policies and procedures were implemented that exceed the CDC’s recommendations to protect patients and staff. These include but are not limited to:
- Mandatory mask wearing for everyone entering the office and facility.
- Screening all patients, staff and visitors daily for any potential COVID-19 risks or symptoms.
- Instructing patients to reschedule appointment if experiencing any flu like symptoms.
- Daily temperature checks for all patients, staff and visitors.
- Non-essential visitors are not permitted in the office.
- Significant reduction in the number of patients and visitors in the office and waiting area.
- Waiting areas reconfigured to ensure social distancing guidelines.
- Installed plexiglass barrier at front desk and checkout areas.
- All common-touch areas are disinfected daily.
- Required COVID-19 Personal protective equipment (PPE) is used during all procedures and patient interaction.
- Using EPA approved products for SARS-CoV-2, all exam rooms, procedure rooms, and patient equipment is cleaned and disinfected between patient procedures.
As we do our part, we ask that you follow our guidelines—
- Wear a mask while at our facility at all times
- Frequent handwashing/sanitizing (hand sanitizers are supplied throughout the facility)
- Practice social distancing
- Most importantly, reschedule your appointment if you have signs or symptoms of COVID-19 or any other flu-like symptoms.
We understand your fears and concerns. Many of you have put off your healthcare waiting for the air to clear, but this “new normal” is here to stay. We encourage you not to postpone your care. If you have questions regarding our protocols feel free to ask any staff member.
Your cooperation is appreciated,
