Patient: 

Patients should fill out Patient Intake Forms at home and bring them to their appointment or send an electronic copy prior to appointment. If a patient does not have access to a computer, they may call our office ahead of time and a staff member can fill it out with the patient over the phone. We understand sometimes neither option is available, so a paper copy can be filled out in the office. Preferred method is for patient to use their own pen. 

Upon arrival, patient should call from their vehicle to notify the office. Our practice is limiting the number of patients and exams adhering to CDC social distancing guidelines. We will be limiting the number of patients per hour to leave time for appropriate disinfection between patients. If the patient does not have a phone, they should knock on the office door and a staff member will greet them and notify when the patient can enter the office. Our front doors will be monitored so staff can observe and control traffic in the office to ensure safe social distancing. 

All patients will have a temperature check via contactless thermometer. If anyone shows signs of fever, they will be rescheduled. Patients will be asked about general health including exposure to someone who has been ill or someone who has traveled to high risk areas.

Pick up protocol will be discussed after orders are placed.
