We suggest all patients take their temperature and sanitize their hands prior to entering the office.

Requiring masks to be worn by all patients and staff.

Before entering the office, patients and staff are required to put on masks, such as cloth masks, medical masks, or N95’s. We require that masks with one-way valved not be used, as they offer less protection against COVID-19.

Limiting the number of people in the office.

We are limiting the number of people in the office at any given time and have spaced out seating throughout the waiting area.

 

Cleaning with enhanced protocols

We are sanitizing exam rooms after every patient, and frequently cleaning the waiting room areas and doorknobs. Our janitorial service is also completing an extra cleaning of high-touch surfaces every day.

No longer offering toys and books in waiting areas

Unfortunately, we are no longer offering toys or books for children to play with in our waiting areas until further notice. This helps to reduce likelihood of disease transmission on surfaces and best protect our patients and staff.

Offering appointments via telemedicine

When possible, we are holding appointments via telemedicine to ensure the greatest safety for all of our patients. We offer follow-up visits with all of our providers via telemedicine.
