In an effort to fight the COVID - 19 pandemic, our practice is taking the following steps to help ensure your health and well-being and that of our community:
• We are following directives from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) as a way to limit patient
and staff exposure to this virus.
• Your health, and the health of our dedicated staff, matters
to us, so going forward we will suspend all non-
emergency care until May 26th.
• Patients will be seen only for urgent and emergency
dental needs.
• Emergency hours will be Monday – Thursday 9 am – 12
pm
All previously scheduled appointments through May 1st will be automatically cancelled and you will be contacted to reschedule your appointments. If you are experiencing a dental emergency or need immediate care, please call us immediately.
Your safety and well-being continues to be our primary concern. We will continue to monitor the status of COVID-19 nationally and within our community and keep you up-to-date regarding our plans to reopen for business as usual. When we reopen, we will expand our normal hours to help accommodate those whose appointments have been postponed.
I thank you for your cooperation and understanding during this confusing and difficult time. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns. We can be reached by phone at 262-932-4190 or by email at [email protected] and we will respond as soon as we can.
