ARRIVING AT YOUR APPOINTMENT
We have hand sanitizer at the front entrance and will ask you to sanitize your hands upon entering the building, as we understand that not all of our patients are fully vaccinated. Please bring a mask with you to your appointment. If you don't already have a mask, we will provide you with a new, fresh mask to wear.
Please note: We are a health-care setting, which means that the repealed face covering order does not apply to our office; therefore, all persons entering or remaining in our clinic must wear a mask covering their nose, mouth and under their chin for the duration of their visit. We reserve the right to refuse entry based on the safety of our patrons and staff.
PLEASE RESCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT IF:
- you feel sick or are experiencing any of these symptoms: fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, loss of sense of smell or taste
- you have been in contact with anyone with COVID-19 in the past 14 days
If these apply to you, please do not visit our office. Contact us to reschedule your appointment: we will be happy to rebook you for a future visit.
