We ask that patients who are experiencing a symptom to please reschedule and work with our staff regarding when it’s safe to return for an appointment.
-
All contact surfaces including treatment tables and equipment will be disinfected with Cavicide in preparation for each patient visit.

We are using vinyl pillows in order to properly sanitize.

We have air purifiers throughout the clinic.

All patients are asked to attend the appointments individually. For safety reasons, if a patient needs assistance in/out of the clinic then arrangements will be made on a case by case basis. We understand there are exceptions for minors.
-
All therapists and patients are asked to practice hand hygiene, which includes washing hands for a minimum of 20 seconds or sanitizing with approved sanitizer.
