We have always exceeded CDC and OSHA guidelines for staff and patient safety. We have always been safe and will always be safe in my office.
Since new CDC and OSHA guidelines have been released, we have again increased all of our protocols and systems to exceed those standards once again.
There are some things you will notice. We are all wearing N-95 masks, gowns, face shields, and head covers. We have increased appointment times and, hopefully, reduced wait times to zero in the waiting room. We have converted to “no touch” protocols for payments and records.
There are some things you may not notice. We have HEPA filters to clean room air in every room as well as HEPA/UV filters in the HVAC system. We also have installed specialty over-the-patient air suction HEPA filters to eliminate any aerosols generated.
We are always safe here and will always exceed local, state, and national standards for infection control.
