Covid-19 Response and Safety

I ask that patients be:

• Free from symptoms of illness

• Please reschedule your appointment with us if you, or anyone in your home, is ill

• Masks MUST be worn over your mouth and nose at all times (NO MASK for baby!)

• Face shields are only permitted if you’re also wearing a mask underneath

• I cannot accommodate medical exemptions for not wearing a mask

By agreeing to this policy you are confirming that no-one in your household:

• Has a fever (Higher than 100.4 degrees), sore throat, cough, chills, body aches for unknown reasons, shortness of breath for unknown reasons, and/or loss of smell or taste

• Has tested positive for COVID-19, and/or suspects or assumes they have COVID-19

• Has had close contact with someone who tested positive or is assumed to have COVID-19 in the past 14 days

If the answer to any of the above questions is yes, please contact me immediately so we can discuss. I will NOT charge a cancellation fee if our visit is cancelled due to illness!

I will be taking the following precautions to keep you safe:

• I will wear a mask throughout the visit with you.

• I will wear gloves anytime I have contact with you.

• I will not have home visits if I, or anyone in my home is ill.

• All surfaces you could come into contact with will be sanitized before and after your visit.

• I do not do home visits if I have a fever, new known symptoms like a cough or sore throat, if I have had known exposure to someone with COVID-19 or other communicable illnesses, or if I have been diagnosed with COVID-19.

• I conduct visits using the same precautions we use in the hospital setting. I want patients to feel safe and comfortable when they are receiving care. If you have further questions please reach out so I can help set some anxiety at ease.

TELEHEALTH VIDEO APPOINTMENTS ARE AVAILABLE.
