To all our valued patients:
On Friday March 20, 2020, the Governor of the state of Florida has directed ALL hospitals, surgery centers, dental, orthodontic and endodontic offices to cease performing elective services until May 8, 2020. As a result of this executive order, our office will be closed for ALL regularly scheduled patients. We will only see patients with urgent or emergency dental needs, severe tooth fracture, dental pain or swelling.
We will continue to closely monitor updates from the CDC, American Dental Association and our state and federal officials and keep you informed of any changes to our operations.
Please contact our office at 561-852-7700 if you have a dental emergency or urgent need. If you do not reach us, please leave a message with your name, phone number and a brief description of your symptoms, and we will return your call as soon as possible.
Stay safe and healthy.
Dear valued patient:
In an effort to support national efforts to fight the COVID- 19 pandemic, our practice is taking the following steps to help assure your health and well-being and that of our community:
· We are following directives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a way to limit patient and staff exposure to this virus.
· Your health, and the health of our dedicated staff, matters to us, so going forward we will suspend all non-emergency care for three weeks.
· Patients will be seen only for urgent and emergency dental needs.
We will contact you soon to reschedule routine hygiene appointments. If you are already scheduled for an urgent issue, we will contact you the day before your appointment to discuss your health status, health screening protocols and confirm whether the appointment should be kept. Of course, please call us right away if you have a dental emergency or need immediate care.
The safety and well-being of our patients continues to be our primary concern. We will continue to monitor the status of COVID-19 nationally and within our community and keep you up-to-date regarding our plans to reopen for business as usual.
I urge you to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. We can be reached by phone at 561-852-7700 or by email to Records@stevenlondondds.com and will respond as soon as we can.
Thank you,
Governor Places Mandates on Dental Offices
All hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, office surgery centers, dental, orthodontic and endodontic offices and other health care practitioners’ offices are directed to immediately cease performing elective services until May 8, 2020.
Through issuance of Executive Order 20-72, Gov. Ron DeSantis has mandated the prohibition of any medically unnecessary, non-urgent or non-emergency procedure or surgery in the state of Florida. Dentists would still be required to see emergency patients. All non-essential elective medical and surgical procedures, including dental procedures, are included in order to conserve medical supplies and resources, preserve essential resources and control the potential spread of COVID-19.
The governor’s previous executive order, E.O. 20-52, is referenced in the last sentence of the order suspending elective procedures. It is the official declaration of a public health emergency, which was filed on March 9 and expires 60 days from then: May 8.
Happy Valentine's Day!
