• Educating our doctors and staff on preventative measures provided by the CDC with daily staff meeting updates.
• Increasing the frequency and extent of our cleaning practices, such as additional wipe downs of all hard surfaces including the front desk, examination rooms after every exam and additional cleaning for all "patient touch points" (door handles, eyeglasses, counter tops, and other high-touch surfaces).
• Providing additional resources that are available to patients and employees including hand sanitizers, extra soap and paper towels at all sinks and restrooms.

• If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, and you arrive at our office, we will kindly ask you to leave & reschedule your appointment
• Please notify us as soon as possible if you need to reschedule your appointment. This allows us to release your reserved time to another patient.
