We are taking measures to protect the health and safety of our patients, doctors and staff during this unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. As a valued member of our patient community, we appreciate the trust you place in us and want to share with you how we are addressing the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Our staff will self-screen for COVID symptoms before each workday. Any team member who is displaying any respiratory issues, COVID-19 symptoms or fever will not report work.
- Telephone screenings will be conducted at the appointment scheduling and appointment reminder level to confirm that anyone entering our office is not currently experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms.
- Masks are optional for patients, visitors, and staff.
- We are asking that patients only enter the office. In necessary cases, one caregiver can accompany the patient.
- Common areas are regularly monitored and wiped down throughout the day. Any room where a patient is seen, including examination and testing rooms, will be cleaned between each patient.
- In the event that we reach our waiting room capacity, we may ask that you remain in your vehicle and our staff will notify you when you can enter the lobby.
- We have removed magazines and books from our waiting areas to minimize items that are shared among patients.
- If you have, or recently had, a fever, cough, upper respiratory illness, shortness of breath, chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat or loss of taste or smell, PLEASE DO NOT COME TO THE OFFICE.
- All caregivers and patients are expected to self screen as outlined below.
