We continue to prioritize a safe environment for our patients and staff. At this time, we have updated our masking policies as follows:
- Patients and staff are not required to wear masks while in the office, unless they are experiencing an onset of symptoms and do not yet have a negative COVID test
- Any patient/staff person who has previously tested positive for COVID and is still in the mandated 5-day limited exposure period must wear a mask
- Patients may request that staff wear a mask at any time, based on their own comfort level or risk factors
- Masks will continue to be provided at the front desk for all patients/staff who wish to use them
- If the Spartanburg-Greer communities enter a “high risk” status, we may reevaluate the need for masking in-office
We will continue to decrease patients’ potential exposure by asking all patients to answer our COVID questionnaire, which includes questions about the presence of any COVID-related symptoms or recent positive COVID test results. If patients have received a positive COVID test within the last 10 days, they may be asked to reschedule.
We understand that all the health issues that led you to see our office in the past still exist. Our goal continues to be to allow you to live your lives in the healthiest possible way. Our policies are designed to allow for us to help you in the safest environment possible.
We look forward to seeing you in our office for your next visit.
