Employees and patients are being screened for elevated temperature and any symptoms of illness 2. We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office 3. Our waiting room is disinfected every hour and our operatories are disinfected thoroughly between each patient We are using an FDA approved surface disinfectant that effectively kills all viruses in 1 second or less 4. All operatories are using High Volume Suction when working with patients to greatly reduce any aerosol production 5. Our waiting room is large and well ventilated, and we have eliminated magazines and close seating. 6. There will rarely be more than one or two people in the waiting room at a time and they will have been screened for symtoms and elevated temperatures. They will also be wearing a mask 7. Our entire office is outfitted with an industrial air handler that removes all air from the building and replaces it with fresh air every 20 minutes greatly reducing the level of aerosols. 8. All health care practitioners will be wearing n95 face masks beneath their surgical masks Our office follows all of the infection control recommendations made by the U.S centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Admin.
