Preparing Your Visit

Infection Control Policy

Because many people who have some kind of infection and others who are completely healthy visit our office, infection control procedures are important for all of us. These policies are for the protection of patients and staff.

When making an appointment, please mention to the staff if you think you have an infection, or are having a cough or a fever. This can be noted in the appointment schedule so proper precautions can be taken when you arrive.

On Arrival

• Please use hand cleanser to thoroughly clean your hands upon arrival — many infections are spread by simple hand contact.
• If you have a cough, a staff member may offer you a mask to wear in the waiting room or exam room.
• If you are feeling unwell, please mention it to the staff at check-in.
• Please let staff know about any recent visits to hospitals during check-in.
