STEPS OUR CENTER ARE TAKING TO KEEP YOU SAFE:
PATIENTS:
Patients will need to wear a protective covering over the nose and mouth (ie. facial mask, bandana, scarf or homemade mask)
We are taking extra precautions to pre-screen patients prior to their arrival for surgery. We are rescheduling any patients who do not meet the recommended health guidelines.
During this time we are making an extra effort to minimize the number of guests permitted to enter our facility. Patient escorts will be asked to wait in their cars during procedures unless they are needed to answer questions. If a patient escort needs to enter the center, they must undergo the same health screening patients will be subject to and follow all applicable center safety measures.
Social distancing measures have been implemented in our waiting room by the removal of available seating.
STAFFING:
Our staff is monitored daily by temperature checks and screenings for flu-like symptoms or illness at the start of each shift.
Staff members are also required to wear a protective covering over their nose and mouth while at work.
Disinfection and cleaning of the Center are regular and normal procedures throughout our Center but have been ramped up throughout this phase of potential virus exposure. All high touch surface areas will be disinfected on a regular basis throughout the day utilizing FDA approved disinfecting hospital-grade wipes.
