We are carefully monitoring the rapidly evolving COVID-19 crisis. For everyone’s safety, we continue to follow CDC Guidelines and are adding enhanced protocols as follows:
Patient Screening
- All patients showing signs of illness are asked to stay home and follow CDC Guidelines.
- Everyone entering the office must wear appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE).
- We will take the temperature of each patient.
- We ask all wash their hands upon entry and before exiting the office.
Social Distancing
- We stagger our patient appointments to give us time to clean and to encourage social distancing.
- We limit the number of people in the office at one time.
- We have removed waiting room chairs and added at least 6 feet between them.
- We provide hand sanitizer in multiple spaces in the office.
- We have no contact soap dispensers in each of the bathrooms.
- We’ve removed magazines, books and toys from the waiting room.
Increased Cleaning Frequency
With EPA-registered products:
- We clean each room thoroughly between patients.
- We wipe down door knobs, light switches and tables frequently each day.
- We clean the computers, keyboards, phones, and other machinery.
Employee Screening
- Our staff take their temperatures upon arrival each morning and again in the afternoon.
- Our staff members stay home if they’re sick.
