Aspen Oral and Facial Surgery places safety at the forefront of everything we do.
The continued spread of COVID-19 across the country is concerning to all of us, and the numbers of cases is expected to increase over the next several weeks. Taking additional precautionary steps could slow the spread of this virus. If unchecked, the number of coronavirus patient cases could add significant stresses of our healthcare system not seen in many years.
As a physician, we have a responsibility to help our patients and yet protect our staffs, ourselves and the community from this pandemic.
To do our part, we have implemented the guidance of the CDC to mitigate these risks.
We are now screening all patients entering our practice.
You will be asked questions about recent international travel as well as quetions about current or recent fever, or upper respiratory/flu-like symptoms in the past 48 hours.
As always, we use CDC-recommended disinfecting wipes to clean all clinical surfaces thoroughly between patients as well as to disinfect bathrooms, reception area countertops, waiting room chairs and door handles.
We want you to know that we are following this situation carefully as it is changing rapidly. We will continue to provide you with the most up-to-date and evidence-based practices.
Sincerely,
Eugene Kang, MD, DMD and staff of Aspen Oral and Facial Surgery
