Safety of our Employees
Each day we are taking our employees temperatures and going over a questionnaire to make sure we are all in the best of health. If anyone has a temperature over 100.4, or has fever, sore throat, chills, loss of taste, cough, shortness of breath, muscle pains, or headache, they will be asked to leave and go see their primary care doctor, or go get tested.
If an employee has been in contact with someone with Covid, we will ask them to get themselves tested, or they will have to quarantine themselves for two weeks.
We have installed a sneeze guard at our front counter for the safety of both our employees and our patients.
Safety of our Patients

All patients must wear masks to their appointment.
We ask patients to come to their appointment alone. Minors may be accompanied by an adult.

We encourage telehealth consults beforehand, so we can make a plan for when patients do come into office.
