After two long months we are REOPEN!
⠀⠀
Safety for both our patients and our staff is priority number one and we are adjusting how we conduct office hours in many different ways.
⠀⠀
We will screen both staff and patients with a non-contact temperature scan as well as a check for blood oxygen with a pulse oximeter. “Silent hypoxia” is unfortunately a common problem with coronavirus and the only way to detect it is a check with a pulse oximeter. Readings below 90 require further investigation.
⠀⠀
We will be keeping our waiting room empty by spacing out the appointment times and we will be emailing patients all of the forms so that they can be completed ahead of time so that time in the waiting room is minimized.
⠀⠀
Our staff will be using masks at all times and we, of course, expect all patients to do the same. ⠀⠀
Any patients requiring surgery will be getting tested for Covid-19 for the safety of all involved.
⠀⠀
Minimizing risk for everyone is the key to a safe reopening and we look forward to getting back to work and doing what we do best!
