The safety, health and well-being of our patients has always been our top priority, whether this is through the care we provide or the environment of our surgical facilities. Our internal policies and procedures have always exceeded federally mandated guidelines to protect our community and staff. As of May 11th, 2020 we will begin seeing patients for elective procedures.
What you can expect upon arriving to our office and things you should know.
- Our appointment slots will be limited to reduce the number of patients in our office on a daily basis. We suggest calling now to schedule your appointment.
- Patients are required to wear a face mask or face covering when arriving at our office. We do not have extra masks as our supplies are limited.
- Patients will be screened outside of our office including a temperature check.
