• Virtual check-in and check-out
• Pre-screening of patients for Covid-19 risk prior to entering our offices
• Temperature screening of everyone before entering our offices
• Mandatory face masking of patients and staff
• Enhanced social distancing limiting the number of patients allowed in the office at any one time
