Dear Patients,
As we continue to adapt to the changing nature of COVID-19, our office continues to monitor the COVID-19 Community Level.
CURRENTLY, OUR LEVEL IN WAUKESHA COUNTY IS LOW, which means masks are welcome, but not required, in our waiting area per CDC indoor public guidance. If you or a loved one are at increased risk for illness from COVID-19, we encourage you to wear a mask in all public indoor areas, including our office. Optional masks and hand sanitizer continue to be available to all patients prior to entering our suite. We frequently monitor our local levels and will require indoor masking in our waiting area if our local level is upgraded to HIGH.
One thing that will not change at your upcoming visit is the adherence to strict COVID-19 safety protocols during your exam or procedure. Because your health and safety are our top priorities, the clinical dental team will continue wearing all proper personal protective equipment (including masks), will continue to follow enhanced cleaning protocols, and will screen all patients for COVID-19 upon check-in.
Please note that we have also implemented more permanent changes that you will not see but are happening in the background:
· We have installed a Novaerus plasma-based air filtration unit between our operatories, designed to kill all airborne microorganisms on contact.
· We have installed UV-C bulbs in our HVAC system, designed to provide medical grade treatment of bioaerosols and treat every cubic inch of air in our office every 12-15 minutes.
· Upon arrival to work and at the end of the day, each team member will have their temperature taken and complete a COVID-19 screening questionnaire.
· We will frequently disinfect commonly touched surfaces such as door handles, bathroom fixtures, countertops, and chairs.
· We will stay up to date on all CDC, OSHA, and ADA recommendations
We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we strive to keep our community and ourselves healthy. We value the trust you place in us as your dental care provider, and look forward to seeing you again very soon. As always, please do not hesitate to contact us about any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Vassilis K Panagopoulos, D.D.S
