Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with your health and safety in mind, we have implemented COVID-19 protocols in our clinics as this is our top priority. We have taken many steps to ensure our clinics are safe for our patients, staff, and community members.
Below are the protocols we have put in place to keep everyone safe. We hope that you will be able to make a clear decision on continuing your plan of care during this time.
Sanitation Protocols: All staff are to engage in regular hand washing and disinfecting of our equipment and supplies. While this is an activity we already enforce, we have increased our frequency and reinforcement.

- Cough
- Sore Throat
- Fever
