Your Responsibility to Minimise Your Exposure

To obtain services in person, you agree to take certain precautions which will help keep everyone (you, us, and our families, other staff and other patients safer from exposure and sickness.  

 

Please read the following carefully and sign in the form below to indicate that you understand and agree to these actions:

​

• You will only keep your in-person appointment if you are symptom free. 

• You will take your temperature before coming to each appointment. If it is elevated (100 Fahrenheit or more), or if you have other symptoms of the coronavirus, you agree to cancel the appointment.  If you wish to cancel for this reason, you won’t be charged our normal cancellation fee. 

• You will wait in your car or outside until no earlier than 5 minutes before our appointment time. If you choose to wait in the waiting area, please wear a face mask. 

• You will wash your hands or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer when you enter the clinic.

• You will adhere to the safe distancing precautions we have set up in the waiting room and therapy room. For example, you won’t move chairs or sit where we have signs asking you not to sit.

• You will wear a mask in all areas of the office.

• You will try not to touch your face or eyes with your hands. If you do, you will immediately wash or sanitize your hands. 

• If you are bringing your child, you will make sure that your child follows all of these sanitation and distancing protocols. 

• You will take steps between appointments to minimize your exposure to COVID.

• If you have a job that exposes you to other people who are infected, you will immediately let us know. 

• If your commute or other responsibilities or activities put you in close contact with others (beyond your family), you will let us know. 

• If a resident of your home tests positive for the infection, you will immediately let us know.

 

We may change the above precautions if additional local, state or federal orders or guidelines are published. If that happens, we will talk about any necessary changes.

 

Our Commitment to Minimise Exposure

Our practice has taken steps to reduce the risk of spreading the coronavirus within the office. Please let us know if you have questions about these efforts. 

 

Risks of Opting for In-Person Services

If You or any of our staff Are Sick

You understand that we are committed to keeping you, our staff and all of our families safe from the spread of this virus.

If any of our staff test positive for the coronavirus, we will notify you so that you can take appropriate precautions.
