We are following guidelines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
Sending a Covid-19 pre-screen questionnaire by email prior to each in-clinic appointment and asking pt's to stay home if showing ANY symptoms: fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, nausea, diarrhea.
Keeping our front door locked and greeting patients at their scheduled appointment time and taking temperature if needed
Providing surgical mask to any patient who needs one. PATIENTS MUST WEAR A WELL FITTED MASK AT ALL TIMES
Running high quality air filters with UV light
Sanitizing/Washing hands beyond what we even thought was humanly possible
Gowning or draping each patient during manual procedures
Practitioner dons gown, N-95, surgical mask, and may use face shield for some procedures
Sanitizing all equipment and high touch areas between patients
Encouraging Telehealth appointments whenever possible
Asking patients to close toilet seat lid PRIOR to flushing to avoid aerosol transmission
