ATTENTION

NEW CLINIC MASK GUIDLEINES

Dear valued patients,

As of March 27, 2023 our office will no longer require masks in the clinic setting. The decision to update and change our mask guidelines are based on the reduction of COVID-19 in our local community, as well as reviewing other trends in the medical community that have recently updated their mask policies to no longer require universal masking. Our office also follows Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as Texas Department of State Health Services recommendations on universal masking guidelines.

Any individual is permitted to wear a mask based on their personal preferences.

We will ask patients to wear a mask under the following circumstances:

  • If a patient is seeking care for respiratory symptoms such as Flu-like illness or COVID. 
  • If an employee has SARS-CoV-2 infection but has been cleared to return to work from Day 5-10.
  • For anyone who has had close contact or a higher-risk exposure with someone with SARS-CoV-2 infection for 10 days.  
  • For anyone who has been told to wear a mask due to health risk
  • We will continue to recommend masking during specific situations. 
  • We will be happy to put on a mask during your visit, if you ask us. 
  • We will continue to wear a mask when evaluating patients with respiratory symptoms or for those who are immune-compromised. 
  • We will continue to encourage anyone at higher risk for severe COVID-19 complications to wear a mask. 
  • We will continue to monitor scientific data, infection rates, and both local and national guidelines to adjust our approach.

 

We appreciate you choosing our office to meet your healthcare needs.
