COVID-19 INFO

To ensure your safety during your visit at our office, we have employed scientifically tested equipment and protocols to eliminate exposure to pathogens.



H13 filter

According to the EPA, there is growing evidentce that the Covid-19 virus can remain airborne for longer times and further distances than originally thought. The EPA recommends increasing ventilation and air filtration. Medical grade HEPA 13 filters are placed throughout our facilities and in every treatment room. These filters remove 99.9% of airborne particles of size down to .01 micron, ensuring that no pathogen remains in the air.

Some procedures generate aerosol and water droplets. In addtion to medical grade air filters, we use high volume external suction systems in our treatment room during those procedures to eliminate the presence of these potentially infectious fluids in the air. These units also contain UV light inside the unit to kill all pathogens in the air that is drawn in.

Fogger

Ultra Light Volume fogger allows fine droplets of disinfectant to be sprayed on every surface in the room. In addition to our existing strict infection control protocols, we now spray our treatment rooms after each patient. Our waiting room and bathrooms are periodically sprayed as well, so that all hard contact surfaces can be safe to touch.


Care providers are tested weekly with a SARS-Covid-2 antibody rapid test kit. Antibody tests have an accuracy rate of 90% and a 10 minute response time, giving us instant results before putting patients at risk for infection.
