All eyecare services are currently available for you, your children, and your family with our normal hours of operation. We want to advise you about the procedures and efforts that we are making to address the challenges regarding COVID-19/Coronavirus.
Our efforts you can expect at our practice:
- Staggered appointment times with minimal to no wait times in our reception area. Patients may also check-in and wait outside in their cars to be called in for an exam.
- Following guidelines based upon medical evidence and closely monitoring the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
- Educating our doctors and staff on preventative measures provided by the CDC with daily staff meeting updates.
- Increasing the frequency and extent of our cleaning practices, such as additional wipe downs of all hard surfaces including the front desk, examination rooms after every exam and additional cleaning for all "patient touchpoints" (door handles, eyeglasses, countertops, and other high-touch surfaces).
- Providing additional resources that are available to patients and employees including hand sanitizers, extra soap, and paper towels at all sinks and restrooms.
- Implementing heightened sanitation and hand-washing procedures for all staff.
