COVID-19 PRACTICE POLICY UPDATE

The health and safety of our patients and staff is our top priority. Our in-office safety policies are aligned with the latest guidelines issued by the CDC and local government officials related to COVID-19.

New safety policies for patients:

• Patients will undergo screening questions prior to their appointment.
• Patients who are sick or have had exposures to COVID-19 will be rescheduled.
• To minimize your time in our office, please complete all paperwork online, in advance of your visit.
• Minimize contact by modified check in and out process.
• Patients must wear a face mask in the office and during their entire visit.
• Patient temperatures will be checked via forehead scanners upon arrival.
• We ask that all patients sanitize their hands when entering the office.
• Staggered entry to our office and dilation within exam rooms to prevent crowding.
• We are asking for patients to arrive at their appointment alone. For children and adult patients who require a caretaker, one adult may accompany the patient.
• Please keep conversation to a minimum during your exam.  Your doctor will speak with you once the exam is completed.
• Telehealth appointments remain available for patients who prefer to be seen virtually.

New safety policies for office & staff:

• Our staff has completed training on all new workflows and infection prevention measures.
