On May 26th NJ government restrictions on elective and non-urgent medical care were lifted… and once again we have reopened our doors for ALL our patients, including those needing annual eye exams, glasses and contact lenses.
YOUR SAFETY AND WELL-BEING IS OUR TOP PRIORITY
We have reconfigured our office environment and procedures with safety in mind. We will continue to follow recommended CDC infection control procedures and to take the necessary precautions to keep you as safe as possible.
COVID-19 Screening - Everyone is screened for COVID signs and symptoms before entering.
- Everyone's temperature is checked before entering our office… patients, doctors and staff.
- Anyone who had recent close contact with anyone exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms is asked to please call us to reschedule.
Express Check-in from Your Car - Wherever possible, we have eliminated the waiting room
- Our new check-in procedures get you quickly from your car to the exam room.
- Patients will be required to call and wait in their vehicles until the doctor/staff are ready for them to safely enter the office.
Clean Office Environment - We have strict office cleaning procedures in place
- We disinfect and sanitize all high-touch areas throughout the office after each patient.
- Masks are required for everyone: doctors, staff, patients and visitors.
- All eyeglass frames touched are disinfected after each patient
Limited Contact - We are following social distancing guidelines.
- We have spaced out appointments to limit the number of people in our practices and to allow extra time to thoroughly clean between patients.
- We will continue to ask patients to call ahead if they need to come to the office for any reason, including picking-up glasses and contact lenses, to help us control the number of people in the office at one time.
Your well-being and safety is our number one priority. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Thank you.
