Consultants in Urology has been closely monitoring the rapidly evolving developments relating to the Corona Virus (CO-VID 19). The health and well-being of our patients and staff is, and will always be our top priority. We are adhering to the most updated CDC guidelines and complying with state and local agencies.
For added precaution, we have began disinfecting all areas of the office significantly more frequently, including all common areas, patient rooms, check in and check out counters, staff offices and lounges, bathrooms, door handles, seat arms, and all areas of common contact.
We have posted signs on all entrance doors advising patients to not enter the building if they have fever, any lower respiratory symptoms or flu-like symptoms including cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, or body aches, or if they have traveled to or have come into contact with anyone who has travelled to any high risk areas in the past 14 days, including China, South Korea, Japan, Italy, and Iran. We have also asked any patients who have been diagnosed with, or have come into contact with anyone diagnosed with CO-VID 19, to please contact their primary care physician or their local emergency room for evaluation instead of scheduling an appointment at our office.
Consultants in Urology is committed to keeping our facilities as clean and sanitary as possible.
Here are some helpful reminders to keep yourself safe:
- Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water and use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer to kill germs.
- Avoid touching your face, eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid eating and drinking with unwashed hands.
- If you have to cough or sneeze, please cover with your elbow or a tissue, and use hand sanitizer afterward.
