Office Safety Precautions in Effect During the Pandemic
I am taking the following precautions to protect my patients and help slow the spread of the coronavirus.
- An additional informed consent agreement will be completed prior to an in-person appointment
- Office seating in the waiting room and in therapy/testing rooms has been arranged for appropriate physical distancing
- I will wear a mask during appointments and I will maintain safe distancing
- An air purifier and other air circulation devices will operate during the appointment
- Restroom soap dispensers are maintained and everyone is encouraged to wash their hands
- Hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol is available in the therapy/testing rooms and the waiting room
- I will schedule appointments at specific intervals to minimize the number of people in the waiting room
- I ask that patients wait in their cars or outside until no earlier than 5 minutes before appointment times
- Credit card pads, pens and other areas that are commonly touched are thoroughly sanitized after each use
- Physical contact is not permitted
- Tissues and trash bins are easily accessed. Trash is disposed of on a frequent basis
- Common areas are thoroughly disinfected at the end of each day
