• Screen again when patients arrive at our offices.
• Take temperatures of all patients, visitors and staff.
• Require patients and designated visitors to wear masks.
• Require all staff to wear masks.
• Restrict all visitors unless required and approved.
• Arrange treatment areas, waiting rooms and office workspaces for social distancing.
• Offer telemedicine visits.
• Rigorously clean our offices.
