COVID-19 Impact On Our Practice
As you are no doubt aware, the COVID-19 virus is having a significant impact on many communities around the country. We have been closely monitoring the situation – and following the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Massachusetts Department of Public Health, as well as State and Local Medical Societies.
We have developed a proactive response plan that takes steps to ensure that we help protect the health and safety of our staff and patients.
- We Remain Open to Serve You – We continue to offer onsite appointments for patients with urgent or emergent orthopedic conditions. Our phones are staffed by our Medical Secretaries throughout the week, and by our answering service on weekends. We are here for you!
- Your Appointment – For an onsite appointment, we ask that you only come to the office if you have no symptoms of cough, fever, or shortness of breath. We ask that you wear a cloth face covering, as per the CDC guidelines.
- Commitment to Cleanliness and Safety – Our exam rooms are cleaned with EPA – certified cleansers and disinfectants to maintain the health and well being of our patients. Our staff wears masks as per the CDC guidelines. We will continue to be diligent in maintaining universal precautions.
- Emergency Care Will Always Be Available – As an integral part of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Saint Vincent Hospital, there will always be Orthopedic Surgical care available from either myself or one of my colleagues 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Orthopedic Surgeons at Saint Vincent Hospital are committed to providing Orthopedic Care under any and all circumstances. We will always be here for you.
