COVID-19

Here’s What You Need to Know:

In consideration of the updated CDC and ADA guidelines, we have implemented new precautions and additional sterilization. 

Please Reschedule if You Have: 

  • a fever
  • a cough
  • flu-like symptoms
  • difficulty breathing
  • traveled in the last 14 days (domestic or foreign) 
  • believe you may have been exposed

New Protocols:

In keeping with the current CDC and ADA guidelines, we have made the following changes:

  • We will ask screening questions when you schedule.  If you have a temperature of 100 degrees or more, and/or if you meet any of the above criteria, you will be asked to reschedule. We may ask you to be tested for Covid-19.

  • Patients should come alone. Drivers and other guests may be asked to stay in the car. (*Minors may have one guardian present.) 

  • If you have a mask, please wear it until we are ready to begin treatment.

  • You will be given hand sanitizer and will be asked to wash your hands before and after receiving treatment.

  • You will be given protective eye wear before beginning treatment.

  • Pens and clipboards used by patients will be sterilized between each use.

  • We Appreciate Your Patience!

    Due to extra sterilization procedures, there may be a short delay between patients.  We are doing everything we can to keep things running smoothly while keeping both our patients and our staff safe.

In recognition of ongoing news reports and the continued spread of the COVID-19 virus, we realize our patients have questions. As dedicated health care professionals, we want you to know that we remain as diligent as ever in protecting the health and safety of our patients and staff.

Our practice strictly adheres to and exceeds the standards for infection control by wearing personal protective equipment, using hospital-grade disinfectants, practicing the latest sterilization protocols, utilizing single-use disposable materials, and more.  Every effort we have in place is to ensure the safety of our patients and staff. We want you to know that we are monitoring this situation very closely, and we will keep you updated regularly.
