Here are some of the steps we are taking to help keep our patients safe during the current pandemic:
- Limiting entry to the office
- Check-in of patients by phone before entry into the office, including screening for symptoms or exposure to coronavirus
- Primarily using telehealth rather than in-office visits
- Influenza vaccines and limited lab testing is being done “curb-side”
- Wearing of masks is required to protect staff and visitors
- Plexiglass dividers have been put up
- Our air conditioning and heating system has been upgraded with new filters to help filter out viruses
- Portable air filters have been placed in exam rooms
- Use of antiseptic wipes and cleaning solutions
- Touchless hand sanitizer and soap dispensers
- Elimination of non-necessary items which can be touched and carry disease, such as magazines
