However, we need your help in battling COVID-19. Below are some examples of how you can help protect the yourselves and our staff, as well as prevent the spread throughout the community.

If you are experiencing a cough, fever, sorethroat, runny nose, and/or shortness of breath, please call and reschedule yourappointment.

We encourage any patients who are scheduled fornew patient consultations or follow up appointments to do these by phone, Skypeor some other virtual communication.

You can help prevent the spread of infection byexercising proper hand washing hygiene as well as coughing and sneezing etiquette. We have hand washing and alcohol-based hand sanitizer availablethroughout our offices.  Please alsoavoid contact with people and items as much as possible: handshakes, handles,etc.

We have posted signs on our entryway doors to notifyvisitors of this policy and actively screening individuals, including staff,who need to come into the building.
