In an effort to do our part to limit the spread of COVID-19, we are instituting the following changes:

 

Only one patient at a time in the office

• To accommodate this change our hours and schedules have been adjusted 8-6 Monday to Friday. We are taking 15 minutes to clean between each patient.

• In addition to our normal cleaning that is done between each patient, we are using CDC approved disinfectants to sanitize all surface that have been touched.

• We have installed 2 air purifiers to reduce airborne droplets in our treatment room.

• We will take your temperature.

 

What we are asking of you:

• Before leaving your house take your temperature. Anything over 98.9 is problematic.

• Take an inventory of how you are feeling.  Breathing problems? Start of a cough? Runny nose or other signs of a cold/flu?

• Please call to re-schedule if you are experiencing any problems.

• When you arrive we will have you wash your hands.

 

Once you arrive for your appointment, prior to coming into the office, please call me to verify the previous patient has left the office and sensitization is complete.

 

In addition, we are asking you to:

• Please wear your mask.

• Everybody washes hands.

• Please reduce physical contact with others.  Unfortunately this includes no hugging or handshakes.

• If you have been in the office recently and are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19, are diagnosed with COVID-19 or realize someone you have been in contact with is positive for COVID-19, please notify us

• Refer to the Centers for Disease Control website for the latest information https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/prevention.html

 

If you are experiencing fever, cough, or shortness of breath, for more information on when to seek care for respiratory symptoms, please call the Tahoe Forest Health System COVID-19 Hotline at (530) 536-6013, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. everyday.

 

Thank you for helping us prevent the spread of COVID-19
