COVID-19 Update
Our office is open for patients during this COVID-19 pandemic. Because our primary concern is always the health and safety of our patients and our employees, we are monitoring the situation very closely and taking all proper precautions to ensure our clinic remains safe for everyone.
Our Patients
Our patient’s health and well-being are of the utmost importance to us. To preserve that, we respectfully ask that you do not come to your appointment and reschedule your appointment if you:
- Have traveled within the last two weeks.
- Have experienced cold or flu-like symptoms (fever with either cough or sore throat, muscle aches, difficulty breathing, or a loss of smell and taste) until you have been symptom free without medication for 24 hours.
- Have been tested for COVID-19 and are awaiting test results until you have received negative results. If your test results come back positive for COVID-19 please reschedule your appointment until 14 days after initially testing for COVID-19 AND you have been symptom free without medication for 24 hours.
- Have been in close contact with another person who has been diagnosed with or under investigation for COVID-19 or above scenarios.
- If you have a serious chronic medical condition (diabetes, lung disease, heart disease, cancer, immunodeficiency) that puts you in a high-risk category, and your matter is not urgent.
All people entering our office must wear a mask. We ask that patients do not bring extra people to their appointment unless they are critical to their care or if this situation is unavoidable.
We may ask you to wait in your vehicle if you arrive greater than 15 minutes early to your appointment.
Our Office
Each patient room and chair are thoroughly disinfected after each patient contact. All commonly touched areas are being disinfected regularly using Cavicide, a medical grade disinfectant against COVID-19. We have also taken additional measures to keep our staff and patients safe by installing an UV air filter that purifies and kills viruses directly in our HVAC system. We are continuing to monitor all employees’ symptoms and temperatures daily.
Telemedicine Available
We are now offering telemedicine appointments for our existing patients. If you have questions for the doctor that does not require a hands-on procedure, you may call our office to schedule a telemedicine appointment.
DM Foot & Ankle Associates is committed to keeping you and our staff safe. We continue to navigate this dynamic situation with everyone’s safety in mind. We are privileged to serve you and our community.
Thank you from all of us at DM Foot & Ankle. Stay healthy!
