Hello again to all of our great patients. It's May 1st, and we've all survived! I hope and pray today finds you happy, healthy, and ready to get back into life. This has been a crazy time in our history, and hopefully that's where it stays.
I am happy to announce that as of today we are fully open. While our desire to see you again and regain some normalcy in our lives is great, we want to reassure you that our diligence to protect our staff, patients, and community has never been greater. Dentistry has been at the forefront of understanding and protecting against communicable diseases for the last 40 years, and that same level of professional understanding and sound medical research has gone into our decision to reopen now. As healthcare professionals, dentists and dental team members routinely practice the highest sterilization and infectious disease prevention and mitigation standards set forth by the CDC and OSHA. Dentists in Oklahoma are governed by the State Dental Act which requires us to follow CDC Guidelines. We take those guidelines seriously every day – not just during a pandemic – to protect our patients, our team members and ourselves. All necessary safety measures are in place. Any information you may have received to the contrary is wholly inaccurate.
El Reno is not only where I practice, it is where I live. This is the community that my family has called home for the last 18 1/2 years, and we care deeply about the people and business community. We were here seeing people in pain and treating your dental emergencies for the past several weeks, and we're here now to fully meet your dental needs once again!
See you soon, Dr. Brian Shafer and the Team
