I’ve made many changes to keep everyone safe during the Covid outbreak.
Since Covid transmission is largely caused by airborne viral buildup in an enclosed space, powerful air purifiers will be going in each room at all times. I will also be disinfecting surfaces and my own hands constantly throughout the day as well. Everyone wears a mask in the clinic, and distancing is strictly enforced.
In addition to the measures listed above, I am asking patients with any symptom that could signal a developing infection to stay home and reschedule later. Late-cancellation fees are being waived for the duration of the covid situation, so patients may cancel at any time without penalty. Following is a list of symptoms – if you have any of these, please cancel and stay home.
- Exposure to a person with confirmed or suspected covid-19 within the past 14 days
- Any of the following experienced during the 48-hour period prior to your appointment:
- New cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing
- New loss of sense of smell or change in taste
- New changes in skin (rash, skin discoloration, discoloration of toes)
- New chills, feeling cold, or shivering
- New or unusual headache
- New or unusual fatigue
- Sore throat
- Nausea/vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Fever over 100.5 (38C)
- New nasal congestion or runny nose
- New body or muscle ache
