Yesterday our Governor and Mayor made a proclamation: ordering all non essential businesses to cease operating and to eliminate all unnecessary contact. We would like to inform you how this affects our practice and our patients.
Firstly, we may stay open and operational as we are considered essential health personnel. Our commitment to our patients will allow other health personnel who are directly involved with treating those who are sick to focus on their task at hand, without using precious time and resources on issues we can address.
Secondly, in order to comply with the order of eliminating unnecessary contact we have made the decision to encourage our wellness patients to not come to the office during the term of this proclamation. For all other patients who have active pathologies, current conditions, or ongoing care instructions from us we still encourage you to keep your appointments. In other words, if you have full function, no pain, and are just being awesome proactive patients: do your home exercises, go for a walk, and keep looking for the all clear to come back. If for some reason you don't know which group you're in or if you have an issue we can assist you with verbally, please call our office.
Also, we understand if you have concerns about visiting our office at this time, but we want you to know we are currently screening all patients prior to entering, keeping the total number of people in the office less than ten, cleaning all contact surfaces, and keeping good personal hygiene.
Lastly, we will continue to comply with all orders as they come current and will update everyone accordingly.
