Office Safety During the COVID Pandemic
- We follow all CDC and state recommendations for office safety during the pandemic
- We have placed advanced air filtration systems in every room
- We open the windows in exam rooms between patients to further increase ventilation
- All surfaces and rooms are cleaned repeatedly throughout the day
- Scheduling has been modified so there are a limited numbers of patients in the office at a time to minimize contact with others
- Our staff all use appropriate PPE including N95 and ASTM Level 3 masks
- Staff has received additional training in infection control and safety
- We have removed magazines from the office to prevent any risk of surface contamination
- We have also closed the coffee station until the pandemic is over. We apologize for the inconvenience, but this is important for sanitations and so everyone can remain in masks.
