Covid-19 Protocols
Our Strategy For Keeping You Safe

How we protect you:
Patient Pre-Screening
Even before making an appointment, we guide patients with possible COVID-19 infections to a testing facility.
Patients and any family members are screened again at the front door with temperature recordings and COVID-19 screening questions.
We do our best to eliminate any contact with other patients and ask all patients and family members to wear a mask or face covering. Yes, it helps!
Check in From the Car/Elimination of the Waiting Room*
Upon arrival, call our office. We will guide you safely to your appointment.
Remember to bring your mask. Patients and any visitors over 2 years of age will require a mask.
Please limit the number of people coming with your child to 1 or as few as possible.
*Beginning May 1, 2021, in addition to check in from your car, we will begin using our waiting room with limited capacity.
How we protect our staff:
All staff members have received the COVID-19 vaccine.
All staff members wear masks.
All staff members record their temperatures before morning patients and then again before afternoon patients.
All staff members report any COVID-19 related symptoms and stay home until they are cleared by one of our providers.
How our office protects you:
Fogging aerosolized viruses and bacteria. Throughout the day, we fog the air and office contact areas with Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL). It is on the EPA’s COVID-19 disinfectant list. Safer than bleach. Non-irritating. Used worldwide in restaurants, hotels, and schools. Any potential COVID-19 virus left behind by patients is eliminated.
Our circulating air is ionized. With our iWave Air Cleaner, the air circulating in our office passes through a bi-polar ionization unit killing viruses, bacteria, and mold so the air you breath is cleaner and safer.
