March 17, 2020

Dear Patients,
In light of the concern over the COVID-19 virus, Nail Dental continues to monitor the recommendations, guidelines, and announcements of our trusted sources.

In an effort to help protect the health and wellness of all our patients and staff, we have decided to elevate our office safety precautions for the next 2-3 weeks.

Please be advised that as ongoing developments occur, additional modifications may take place.

Effective, Tuesday, March 17th, 2020
• For your safety, should you consider yourself in a higher-risk medical category (example: compromised immune system, uncontrolled diabetic, respiratory disease, COPD, etc.) and have a non-urgent or non-emergent appointment in our office, please call to reschedule your appointment.
• If you have experienced in the last 48 hours a FEVER, PRODUCTIVE COUGH, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, or UNUSUAL FATIGUE, OR have traveled outside of the country in the last 30 days you will be asked to reschedule your appointment.
• Elective treatment may be postponed or rescheduled to a later date after a discussion with Dr. Nail.
• ALL patients with appointments please wait in your vehicle when you arrive. Please refrain from walking into the office until advised. We are attempting to keep the numbers of patients to a minimum in our waiting area.
1. When you arrive, Call the office phone number: 417-881-1212
2. A staff member will ask you some pre-screening questions over the phone or bring you any routine paperwork/information to fill out.
3. When the room where you will be seen has been cleaned, disinfected, and set up, you will be called or a staff member will come out to es**rt you inside and straight to your room.
4. Once in your room your temperature will be taken with a temporal scanning thermometer.

Please be advised that only people with a scheduled appointment who have been checked in as stated above will be allowed inside. Only ONE guardian can accompany the appointed patient, but this individual will also need to undergo the prescreening process. Additional es**rts can be approved with permission from Dr. Nail.

• For those patients that need EMERGENT dental care and have answered “YES” to the pre-screening questions, have a temperature above 100.3, or are medically compromised, Dr. Nail will direct staff members as how to handle your situation.

We understand these temporary implementations may be quite inconvenient to all. We will make all efforts to ensure you receive your dental care in a safe and timely manner as this situation subsides.

Me and my husband started to go to Dr... - by Yuanyuan Q.

Me and my husband started to go to Dr. Nail's office since couple years ago and we had great experience ever since. He always cares about his patients not just about sales and make extra sales. I took my 3 year old boy for the first check up today. I was all worried how my little one will handle it. Dr. Jim spent his time to show my boy all the tools and things he would expect and engaged with him prior to the check up. He made my boy animal balloon after the visit. He made it so smooth and easy for the little one. He was all excited about dentist visit and looking forward to go back already. I highly recommended Dr. Jim Nail to all ages and family visit. 👍🏼

They should get 10 stars. - by David H.

Most considerate ,kind and fun dental team ever. Very thorough, explain your condition and help you plan treatment options. My family has been attended by the dental team for around 30 years and I’d recommend that if you’re looking for the best, it would be Nail Dental.

The Best! - by Jennifer R.

I can't say enough how thankful our entire family is for Nail Dental. Both Dr. Gary & Dr. Jim are so kind and so good at explaining all of the options available rather than pressuring you to immediately have the most expensive work done. My kids have previously gone to a pediatric dentist who offered all of the bells and whistles with play areas, TVs, etc but he never spoke directly to my kids, never explained the work being done, and the price was outrageous. They have now all seen Dr. Jim and each says they prefer seeing him because he actually talks to them & explains what's going on which helps them understand their responsibility in taking care of their teeth. Kids can have a fun, personal experience at the dentist without being entertained with technology. If you need a great dentist with fair prices, Nail Dental is the place to go.

Only come here if you want good service - by Ellen R.

Nail Dental is hands down the best place to get comprehensive care for your teeth. They have the best staff, dentists, and prices. That's pretty much the trifecta of great dental care.
