COVID-19 Precautions: What You Can Expect
In response to the pandemic, I have made important and necessary changes to my appointment and visit process to enhance the comfort and safety of all of you and myself during the novel coronavirus outbreak.
Prior to your appointment, please report any recent travel history or flu-like symptoms you or member of your household have experienced in the past two weeks.
As of April 3, 2023, masks are no longer required to be worn during your treatment. However, they are highly encouraged if you are experiencing any signs of sickness.
Friends and family should not accompany you to your treatment unless it is absolutely necessary.
Other steps I am taking to reduce potential exposure include: no-touch payment procedures, enhanced cleaning and disinfection between each patient, HEPA filters and central air circulation with hospital-grade air filters will be running at all times to aid in fresh air circulation.
Although I am taking many steps to reduce potential exposure to COVID-19, it is important that you know that any in-person interaction, including at a medical office, may increase potential exposure to COVID-19.
COVID-19 is a new disease and there is limited information regarding risk factors for severe disease. Based on currently available information and clinical expertise, older adults (65 and older) and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions might be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. If you or a member of your household is at higher risk, you may wish to postpone your appointment. Please discuss with your doctor if you have any questions or concerns.
Although some aspects of your visit may be different than we are all used to, my dedication to providing you with excellent care remains the same. I am looking forward to seeing you!
