Hello all!
I’d like to report that we are returning to seeing patients tomorrow (Monday May 4th.). And will be available during regular business hours going forward again.
As you are all aware, this new “orange” status of the state may change at any time, and a change back to “red” would very likely cause us to pause patient care again.
There are a number of new measures in place and I would like to explain them to our patients at this time.
#1. We want patients to wait in their cars when possible. Please call our office and let us know you’ve arrived, and we will most likely be ready, but please call us when you’re here.
If any patient is accompanied by anyone else, we’re asking (when at all possible) for the accompanying person to wait in their vehicle. If a patient needs to be accompanied, the other person will need to undergo all the same things outlined in #2, and their name and contact information will be entered into our records as well.
#2. All patients will be required to answer some basic health questions about their current health status, get a temperature check & hand sanitize.
In addition, some patients may be asked to swish with a hydrogen peroxide and water solution if they are at our office for procedures which may generate aerosols.
#3. All patients will remain in their treatment rooms after treatment is complete until we’re ready to dismiss them (usually less than 2-3 minutes)
#4. If anyone is seen for an appointment at our office, and discovers they had previously been exposed to COVID-19, we are requiring that they immediately call our office and let us know. We are tracking all appointments in our software and are using that data in the event we need to contact trace an exposure.
We appreciate your cooperation in these matters and want you to know that we take your health and safety very seriously & know that we are doing all in our power to make sure you’re safe.
Thanks!!!
Dr Damon Swenson
