We Want You To Be Safe When You Visit
Don’t Delay Getting The Pain Relief You Need
If you need to come to my office for an appointment or to the hospital for a procedure or test, I want to reassure you many enhanced safety precautions are in place.
In My Office
All staff and patients are wearing masks, our waiting rooms are arranged for social distancing and you might be asked to wait in your car if too many people are in our waiting room. You’ll receive a call the day before your appointment where you will be pre-registered and given information about what to do when you arrive in our parking lot. You also have the option of having a telemedicine video visit with us or we can schedule a telephone conversation.
At Henry Community Health’s Main Campus
Emergency Department and hospitalized patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 are isolated from other patients, and staff follow strict protocols while caring for isolation patients. We have “sick” and “healthy” waiting areas and enhanced cleaning and disinfecting protocols. Patients undergoing elective surgical procedures are required to have a negative COVID-19 test prior to the surgical procedure. Screening questions are asked prior to appointments before a patient is cleared for minor procedures.
