We would like to inform you that we are back in the office seeing patients after being closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Being a surgical practice our office has always been diligent with regard to sterility, sanitation and safety, This remains our top priority while providing quality periodontal care to our patients. We have implemented additional safety protocol recommended by the CDC, and the State Board, including:
| • |
All employees and patients are required to wear masks at all times. This is a preventative measure and is not indicative of anyone having or carrying the virus. Also, all staff members will be wearing CDC recommended PPE specific to their job duties during all patient appointments, including risk level exposure masks, face shields/ head covers, disposable gowns, and gloves.
|
| • |
Appointments are limited to the patient only unless assistance is required or the patient is a minor. At that time 1 additional visitor is accepted.
|
| • |
Frequent sanitation according to CDC protocol of common areas including reception and exam rooms and we will have hand sanitizer available for your use when in our office.
