Dear Patients,
Our clinic is open and see patients again with protocols in place to limit exposure to COVID-19. The health and safety of our patients and staff is our top priority. We are doing everything we can to ensure the best continuity of care for our patients and have updated many of our policies accordingly. Following are some policy updates to ensure minimal spread of coronavirus:
- If you or a family member is experiencing any symptom of the COVID-19 virus, we kindly ask that you reschedule your appointment for a later date.
- If you or a family member has traveled outside of the country in the last 3 weeks, please reschedule your appointment.
- If you aren’t feeling well and have an eye health concern, please call the office and we will do our best to assess your need before you come to the office.
- Telemedicine option available
- We are limiting access into the facility to:
- Patients with appointments only. No walk-ins including for pickups and adjustments as our doors will remain locked during business hours.
