Advanced Safety Policy & Protocol
Updated March 1, 2024
The safety and health of our patients and staff remain our top priority. We understand the unique needs of high-risk and severely immunocompromised individuals. For this reason, we continue to go above and beyond CDC and OSHA Infection Control policies and guidelines. Please review this information before visiting our office.

Masks that completely fit over your nose, mouth, and chin are required, regardless of vaccination status, before entering our office and for the duration of your appointment. Valved masks are not accepted as they protect the wearer but not others.
