To our valued patients:
An update on the status of our practice and the technology and protocols
we have implemented for the safety of patients and staff:
We continue to maintain the highest level of infection control. We have added two HEPA/ultraviolet (UVC) air purification units to the operatory areas of the office. These units run continually,
killing and/or deactivating microbes and pathogens, as well as removing allergens, chemicals, and odors.
Plexiglas barriers remain in place around the front office area.
As you may remember, the office became a MicroShield 360 Certified Facility prior to re-opening in the spring of 2020.
MicroShield 360 is an anti-microbial coating system that creates a preventative surface that protects treated areas from
germs, bacteria, and pathogens. It is EPA registered and FDA approved, and will neutralize Covid-19 if the virus contacts the treated surface.
Electrostatically applied antimicrobial/disinfectant
We are now applying two additional disinfectants with an electrostatic sprayer.
One type, similar to Microshield 360, is applied monthly to all surfaces, to renew the coating in areas and on objects that
are touched frequently. The entire office is also electrostatically sprayed weekly with a second solution, a hospital-grade
antiseptic/disinfectant. This is in addition to our normal sanitization of the reception and treatment rooms that happens
continually throughout every day.
We will continue to upgrade our practices to provide the safest possible environment for our patients and staff. If there are
any questions you have regarding our technology or safety protocols, we would be more than happy to discuss them with you.
Please call us anytime, and we look forward to seeing you soon.
