From Dr. Leibovitz: An Update on In-Office Appointments

Weeeee’re back! …Well kind of, in a corona type of world.

We are seeing patients but with a physical distance state of mind.

Our reception area (aka waiting room) will now become a lonely place. We do not intend to have people in this area. To avoid the reception area, we will bring you back to a treatment room as soon as you enter our office.

We do not want you to have any contact with other patients, so we have reduced our patient appointments and staggered appointment times to avoid awkward mask-to-mask moments. To do this, it is very important that our patients arrive at their designated times. If you arrive early or late, we will have you wait in your car. In this situation, call us and we will let you know when to enter the office or possibly reschedule.

We are not in full-time party mode yet, so there are a lot of other restrictions. I will only allow non-patients in my office with the exceptions:

• The patient needs physical assistance to get into the exam chair.
• The patient is a minor.

Anyone else who accompanies a patient must wait in their car and stay on-site. We ask that the driver does not leave or run an errand and potentially strand the patient.

You must wear a mask and use it appropriately. A mask does not protect anyone if the nose and mouth are not covered.

If you have a fever, cough, do not feel well, or have been exposed to a person who is COVID-positive within 2 weeks, you should reschedule your appointment.
