Coronavirus Update

Hang In There!

Thank you for your patience while we were busy making modifications so that you, and our staff, keep safe and comfortable. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we are taking to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. We value your trust and loyalty. 

Come on in!

To make an appointment, please call or text our office at 708-479-2273.

Here are a few changes you may notice in regards to an appointment:. 

  • Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean that you're offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment.
  • When you visit our office, we ask that you arrive on time for your appointment, rather than too early. This will minimize the amount of time you spend waiting.
  • We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the waiting room at any one time. Please allow extra time for your appointment as procedures will take longer as we adjust to the additional PPE we are wearing for everyone's protection. 

Our Office’s Safety Precautions

There are several recommendations we are implementing to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

  • Patients who have symptoms or a temperature greater than 100.4 will be asked to reschedule their appointment.  
  • Making sure our masks, gloves, and eye protection are appropriate for the procedures performed.
  • Cleaning and disinfecting public areas frequently, including door handles, chairs, and bathrooms.  

 

How can you prevent contracting or spreading COVID-19?

  • GET THE VACCINE!
  • Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for 20 seconds. If you don’t have access to soap and water, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
  • Maintain at least six feet of distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. Do not use your hands.
  • Stay home if you feel unwell. If you have a fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention and call in advance. Calling in advance will allow your healthcare provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility.
