COVID-19 Update March 2022
COVID-19 Protocol Update
- Clients are welcome in the reception area, with a maximum capacity of four clients at a time. We continue to recommend mask use due to the small space but these are not mandatory.
- We are resuming in-person exams, but request that one person be present. Masks will be mandatory within the exam room due to the small area and limited ability to distance.
- We will still offer “curbside” exams for clients who prefer limited contact. We ask that you wait in your car or close-by so the doctor can contact you with findings and recommendations following the examination.
Thank you for your support and understanding over the last 2 years of COVID!
