Our office is currently open for patient care (by appointment only).
We have always had public health first in mind with cleaning and disinfecting, but upon resuming regular patient care we will be taking extra precautions and utilizing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) protocols and disinfecting protocols over-and-above prior standards.
We ask that you keep the following in mind for your next visit:
- When in doubt, STAY HOME.
- Please wear a mask before entering the lobby as they are required to be worn at all times inside the building except during treatment.
- Please be aware that we will be asking patients with any of the following to reschedule
- Symptoms that appear to put others at risk (e.g. coughing, fever, shortness of breath)
- Contact with someone positive for covid or with active symptoms (e.g. your spouse or child has a fever, cough, etc.)
- We ask any visitors accompanying a scheduled patient to remain in their vehicle instead of waiting in our lobby to limit the number of persons in our building (certain exceptions will apply)
- We encourage all patients to sanitize their hands upon entering and exiting our office. We have hand sanitizers and cleaning products at every desk.
- Pens are used once then put aside to disinfect.
- While in the dental chair, prior to treatment, each patient will rinse with 3% hydrogen peroxide.
We understand this will be an inconvenience for some, but in the interest of public health and safety, these are the steps we feel are appropriate to keep our patients, staff, and community safe.
Things you may not notice:
We are committed to ensuring the safety of our patients, staff, and community, and are carefully monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic. We are keeping a close watch on all communications and acting on the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO),
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), state and local health officials, and other local health care providers. We are striving to make our office a safe environment for everyone. Our team has developed a strict cleaning regimen and schedule in accordance with guidance by the CDC and WHO to be viricidal and effective in this current environment.
We hope this helps you appreciate the gravity of the current situation. We appreciate you trusting us with your care, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Our office is ready to continue to provide the best local dental care in the safest way possible.
Thank you for your patience during this time.
Welcome to the office of Dr. Anne Newman
