Patients/drivers/friends/family members may sit in separated chairs in the main foyer of the building and there’s outside seating. Another waiting option is to wait in your vehicle until you are called into the clinic for your appointment.

Employees will not accept their work assignment if they are displaying symptoms and/or fail the daily temperature and pulse oximetry tests.
- Screenings will be performed on each patient outside of our office prior to their appointment including a temperature scan and pulse oximetry reading. Patient appointments will be cancelled if they are experiencing COVID 19 related symptoms and/or if they fail the temperature and/or pulse oximetry tests. PLEASE ALLOW 10 MIN EXTRA TIME FOR SCREENING PRIOR TO YOUR APPOINTMENT.
- Gloves will be worn by clinicians with any direct patient contact.
- Treatments/testing will be performed in their entirety in individual, separate rooms to maintain social distancing with other patients and other providers. After your initial check in with our front office, your only contact will be with your assigned clinician.
- Treatment/testing sessions will be staggered in order to reduce patient contact at our screening station, hallways, and our reception area.
- There will be 15 minutes allotted between each patient in order to ensure thorough proper handwashing and adequate cleaning of all equipment and surfaces with CDC approved cleaning agents.
