As an Essential Business, it is our duty to continue to provide care to our patients and do our part to help keep our community healthy. As such, we have implemented the following changes in our office to ensure a safe visit with your medical provider.

• If you choose to wait in your car, you will be notified via call or text and will be escorted back to your private exam room to be seen by your provider.
• If you chose to wait in the waiting room, please follow the CDC guidelines of maintaining 6 feet between you and others.

Please be assured that our office is taking the health and well-being of both our

Advanced Orthopedics is taking steps to help prevent the CoronaVirus

The most recent news on the CoronaVirus (COVID-19), prevention is the best action possible. Therefore, the, CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including:

• Stay home when you are sick and so we are asking if you are not feeling well please call to reschedule your appointment.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using regular household cleaning spray or wipe. We use a multi-purpose germicidal hospital grade cleaner and we clean all tables between.

CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear facemask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.
Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol -based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
