Safely back to practice
We Will Be Taking The Following Additional Steps To Assure Your Safety For Your Appointment:
- Please wear a mask to your appointment.
- You will be asked a COVID-19 health screening questionnaire when you schedule your appointment, and a second will be provided on the day of your appointment.
- Due to social distancing we are limiting our waiting room to no more than 2 patients. If we exceed that number we will ask you to wait in your vehicle and call or text us to let us know you have arrived.
- One of our team members will either come out to your vehicle or greet you at the front door to review any necessary paperwork, and check your temperature before admitting you into the building.
- Once in the building, we will ask you to use hand sanitizer to disinfect your hands.
- Our team will be using level III surgical masks, N95 and KN95 respirators, and small particle filtration masks throughout your experience at our office.
- We are only letting the patient being treated into the building to reduce the number of person-to-person interactions unless special circumstances require otherwise.
COVID-19 patient screening and temperature:
Every patient that enters our practice is screened for symptoms and elevated temperature before they even enter the clinical area. If they are a risk, they are asked to leave, and the area is disinfected.
Handwashing:
We take hand-washing very seriously. We ask that ALL patients wash their hands or use hand sanitizer before entering the clinical area, and we will in turn wash our hands in front of them!
Hourly disinfection of doorknobs and commonly touched surfaces:
Our team wipes down everything that has been in contact with a patient, and hourly goes through the office disinfecting door handles and other commonly touched surfaces.
Sneeze Guards to protect against aerosol from team and from patients:
We have incorporated sneeze guards to act as a barrier to prevent the spread of airborne aerosol from us to you and from you to us as well!
Personal Protective Equipment:
- For each patient we have the latest in surgical masks, face shields, eye protection and gowns.
- For examinations and visits that will not create an aerosol we incorporate the same protections without the need for a face shield and gown.
Latest Advances in Disinfection and Sterilization of instruments:
We have always insured our patient’s safety by only using FDA and CDC approved disinfectants to clean all rooms and work surfaces. All instruments are heat sterilized to ensure your safety.
