Dear patients,
As many of you are well aware, we are in the midst of a major public health crisis regarding the Coronavirus/COVID-19. We have been staying informed regarding recommendations and updates from the ADA, CDC, OSHA, WHO, PA State Health Department and other appropriate governing bodies handling how to respond to this pandemic. CDC is currently recommending opening to elective care as is the PA State Health Department with restrictions.
Based on the recommendations we feel it is appropriate to continue elective as clinically necessary, but not preventive dental services until June 8th, 2020. We specifically want to mention that we will not apply any cancellation fees during this time, as many patients have expressed concern about this issue.
We will continue to take extreme measures to decrease virus transmission in our office by utilizing the following: Universal Precautions, increasing our precautionary disinfection protocols, minimizing patient traffic to our office, hepa filtration air purifiers, increase use of necessary PPE, limit aerosol production, and social distancing. We plan to send more updates as we learn more. Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have COVID-19 Symptoms we will be unable to treat and can refer you to appropriate facility to be treated.
Please be safe,
Maq Serang, DMD
