Special Arrangements for Vulnerable Patients

For patients who may be considered high risk for COVID-19 complications, special arrangements are being dedicated to limit their exposure. These individuals include those over 65, expecting mothers, and those with underlying medical conditions.

More Frequent Cleaning

The cleanliness of all our offices are of the utmost importance to us. In addition to our regular cleaning procedures we have increased sanitization measures in our offices with particular attention to patient treatment rooms and areas.

Each treatment room and table are being wiped down before and after each patient visit.
Deep cleaning of the office is done daily.

What We Ask of You

For the safety of our staff and other patients, we ask that if you are exhibiting symptoms: fever, cough or shortness of breath, please remain at home and contact your doctor. The spread of the coronavirus continues to be a fluid situation across the country and the world. We recommend following the CDC guidelines to help prevent the spread of this viral illness.

What is Telemedicine?

Telemedicine (sometimes referred to as telehealth) allows a medical provider to evaluate, diagnose, and develop a treatment plan, using the video conferencing capabilities found on smart phones, tablets, and computers. As an added benefit, many medical insurance providers are not only reimbursing telemedicine services but waiving many of the costs to their members.
