Coronavirus Updates
In light of the Coronavirus, there have been changes in the flow of the office and office policies to better keep us safe during appointments.
Please note.
Do NOT schedule an appointment if you currently have, or in the last two weeks have had a cough, sore throat, fever, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, loss of taste or smell, new rash, swollen red toes, or new, unusual muscle pain. Also, please do NOT schedule an appointment if you have been in contact with anyone in the last two weeks who has had the above-mentioned symptoms, someone diagnosed with Covid-19, or you have recently returned from somewhere with high levels of diagnosed Covid-19. In addition, if any of these occur after you have scheduled an appointment, please cancel your appointment. Late cancellation fees will be waived.
Cleaning & Sanitizing.
Center for Disease Control has updated its recommendations for cleaning and sanitizing. Surfaces are no longer considered areas of potential contamination. Windows will remain open as much as possible, as ventilation has been identified as the best way to prevent Covid-19 transmission within closed environments.
Flow of the Office.
To assist in social distancing, we will endeavor to only have one patient in the office at a time (which means fewer appointment slots per day). Please come by yourself and come precisely at your appointment time. This will help prevent crossover in the waiting room, which will be unavailable for seating for the time being, as upholstered furniture is difficult to sanitize.
PPE.
Per government recommendations, everyone will be required to wear a mask while in the office at all times (I will be wearing one as well). I expect that you have one, but if for some reason you do not have a mask, I have a limited number of them available for purchase.
What a visit will look like now.
Gowns are available, but better in these times may be to have loose, movable clothing that can be maneuvered easily to treat most areas of your body, especially any areas of concern. Many times disrobing will be necessary.
This has been an adjustment for all of us, getting together in this different format. But we feel we can proceed well and get you the help you need in this unusual time. If you have any questions or concerns don’t hesitate to reach out so that we may discuss them.
As always, if you have any questions feel free to contact us. And you can join our mailing list below if you wish to receive email updates on our reopening.
