**IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT**

5.12.2020 We are excited to finally announce we are returning to seeing patients on a normal schedule! We are taking the Universal Precautions we have always taken with regards to infection control to protect our patients and staff, as well as taking extra precautions of more frequently disinfecting in the non-clinical areas. We are asking our patients to still take the following precautions as well over the next few weeks:

We are asking that only THE PATIENT come in the office, parents and other family members are to remain in their vehicle. Please send payment with the patient or you can call and pay over the phone.

If you have had a fever of at least 100.4°, cough, shortness of breath or traveled outside the country within the last 14 days or been exposed to anyone else that has we will re-schedule your appointment.

This will decrease the number of people in our office at one time. While this limits the possibility of exposure it cannot completely eliminate it. Your presence in the office, and/or providing any patient care exposes you to the risk of transmission.

As always, if you have any concerns we are more than happy to re-schedule you to a later date. As more information becomes available we will continue to modify our plan to best serve our patients, staff and the community.

Thank you
