COVID-19 Updated Information & Responses | HD Ortho

While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe. You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. Please escort your child to the door, and at the completion of the appointment we will communicate with you.

Communication

Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. Please submit the 9 question screening form online. If you are unable to complete the form online, you’ll be asked those same questions again when you arrive in the office.

Hand Sanitizer

We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also find
some in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed.

High-Contact Items

You may see that our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, children’s toys and so forth,
since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect.

Prior to your Appointment

Please brush, floss and rinse with mouth wash prior to coming to the office.

Scheduling

Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean
that you’re offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment.

Timing

We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well
as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time.

Please check our website frequently for updates. If you have any questions regarding scheduling, please call our offices during normal business hours. We are all in this together, and are doing our part to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Let us all hope for a quick resolution to this unprecedented pandemic.
