Cell Phone Verification
Staff will verify the patient’s cell phone number. We will use this number to contact the patient when their exam room is ready. Patients will then be told of our social distancing protocol and asked to return to their car or sit in the waiting room. Patients that are handicapped, elderly, or have special needs will have priority to waiting room seating.
Appointment Time
When it's time for the appointment, the medical assistant will notify the patient.
1) If the patient is in the waiting room - the patient will be called as normal.
2) If the patient is in their vehicle - we will then reach out to them from an office phone and advise him or her that they are ready for them to re-enter the clinic.
The patient will be advised they can re-enter the office and will be met by a member of our staff to take the patient to their exam room.
