Dr. Hillis discussed how the office was fully ready and eager to start caring for patients again. He shared five new protocols in place:

• Wellness Check Call 24 hours ahead : We will call you 24 hours ahead of your scheduled appointment to confirm your visit and take an over the phone assessment of your health.

• Temperature Screening upon arrival: We will take your temperature upon arrival with a head thermometer. Patients with a fever will be reappointed and recommended they contact their physician.
• Parking Lot Waiting Room: All patients will stay in their vehicle in the parking lot until called in for the appointment instead of sitting in our office waiting room.
• Reduced Number of Patients:  We will be accepting less patients each day to give proper spacing between patients and give our staff adequate time to sterilize.
• Monitoring Staff Health Daily: Each day we will closely monitor the health of our staff to ensure they have no signs of a virus. Anyone that is showing signs will go home until they are well.
