COVID-19 Update
Dear colleagues and patients,
The COVID-19 epidemic has created unprecedented circumstances for our community. Our practice has been paying close attention to the guidelines put in place by the government and the CDC and we want to reassure you that, as always, your health and the health of our patients is our primary concern.
Our Practice will continue to stay open to treat patients during this difficult time. I will be in the office Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays with my staff. Our goal is to diminish the need for patients to be forced to visit hospitals and urgent care centers for dental-related pain or infections.
Please know that we are constantly updating our services and staffing according to the local and national recommendations and doing our part to make sure that you are protected.
- We continue to exercise all the latest recommendations that are handed down by the CDC. Our preventative measures include:
- Fully training all staff members to understand the disease process and its modes of transmission.
- Asking all staff, vendors and ancillary personnel to refrain from coming to the office if they have any signs or symptoms of a cold or an upper respiratory tract infection.
- Asking every patient to refrain from coming to the office if they have any symptoms and inquiring about any pertinent travel history.
- Hand-washing, as this continues to be the most important mode of prevention. Although it is something that we have always constantly done, we are now doing so with heightened vigilance and attention.
- Constantly sanitizing all surfaces (which we have always done as an accredited facility). However, we have now increased this routine and are wiping down all surfaces, desks, door handles, keyboards and restroom facilities multiple times each day.
Please call our office if we can be of assistance to you and your patients. We strongly believe that it this crisis will pass and hopefully make our infrastructure and our ability to deal with pandemics in this country even better than it currently is. Wishing you all safety and good health, and I look forward to working with everyone in near future.
