Akers Eyecare Center takes the safety and health of our patients and staff extremely seriously. One of our Staff Members had an encounter with an individual who later tested for positive for Corona Virus 19(CV-19). Our policy is once any member of our team has known contact with a CV-19 patient, they are to inform management and immediately quarantine.
The employee has been in quarantine, but to confirm the safety of our patients and staff we will be closing the office June 19, 2020 and will not reopen until staff members have passed a CV-19 Test. The office has gone through thorough cleaning and sterilization process. We apologize for this inconvenience, but we always emphasize safety. Dr. Akers will be available via telehealth if any emergencies arise. If an in-office appointment is needed, he will assist you with a referral to an appropriate eye care provider.
Someone turns 50 today! If ya see this doc today...wish him a happy one!
It has been great seeing all of our patients that have been in since opening back up! Just a reminder that we will be closed Monday for Memorial Day. We will reopen for normal business hours on Tuesday. Have a great weekend and be safe!
Due to unforeseen circumstances regarding COVID-19, we have been required by the CDC to limit our schedule to one patient per hour. Unfortunately, for the remaining month of May and the month of June we will be removing all pre appointments scheduled from last year to accommodate our new scheduling protocol. You may still call the office and schedule an appointment if it is time for your annual exam.
We appreciate your patience as we work together to navigate this difficult time. Our highest priority is the health and welfare of our patients and their families, as well as our valued staff.
Thank you for your understanding and loyalty. We sincerely appreciate the trust you give us for your eye care needs.
