COVID-19 Safety Precautions


Our Office’s Safety Precautions

To help prevent the transmission of all respiratory infections, including COVID-19, we have always adhered to standardized infection control measures. We follow routine cleaning and disinfection strategies, using cleaners and water to pre-clean surfaces prior to applying an EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectant, as well as appropriate sterilization of all tools and equipment.
