Our practice takes the health of our patients and staff very seriously. For this reason, we have implemented changes to allow for a safe reopening of our offices. We have been able to procure enough PPE and have created procedures that we believe will allow for a safe reopening. We have added additional infection control procedures in between each appointment. If you are experiencing any symptoms of Covid-19, please contact your primary contact physician. The Hearing Center does NOT offer Covid-19 testing.
Here is Guidance from the CDC on Staying Healthy:
Wash your hands thoroughly and use alcohol-based hand sanitizers.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
Stay home when you’re sick and encourage family to do the same.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, throw the tissue in the trash and immediately wash your hands. No tissue? Cough or sneeze into your elbow, not your hands.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
Patient Appointments:
We will be offering our first appointments of the day to those in vulnerable populations
All patients will be asked Covid-19 screening questions
Patients will be required to respond to specific survey questions prior to their appointment
All patients and guests will be required to wear masks and sanitize their hands while in our offices. If you do not have a mask, we will have new, reusable fabric masks available for purchase.
All patients will be asked to wait in their cars and call our office when they arrive. We will advise you when to come into the office. The goal is to responsibly social distance. ***Please advise us ahead of time if you do not have a cellphone for further instruction***
All patient forms will be available on line at our website. We ask patients to complete these forms ahead of their appointments and email them to us
We ask that only the patient enters the office suite. 1 parent or care-taker will be allowed into the office during the appointment.
