UPDATED PRACTICE POLICY NOTICE – 12-30-2020
The providers and staff at Skin Cancer Care Specialists hope you and your families are faring well during this time. Thank you to all of our patients who have worked to cooperate with our COVID-19 policies and procedures. As we try our very best to help you to feel safe during this ongoing pandemic we wanted to share an update on our practice and new policies which will affect your next visit to our office.
Universal Mask Policy: Effective April 13, 2020 all patients and visitors to our office are required to wear a non-medical mask or proper face covering over their nose and mouth. As part of our continuing mitigation efforts, on March 30, 2020, all providers and staff have been required to wear a medical grade mask at all times and will continue to do so.
Temperature Screening: All staff, patients, vendors or visitors to our office will be required to have a temperature screening before accessing the clinical suite. If anyone registers a temperature of 99.5 F they will not be granted access to the suite and their visit will be cancelled and rescheduled.
Patient Screening: Every patient will have strict screening over phone before they come to the office and again at check-in before entering the clinical suite. If anyone is identified to have flu like symptoms of fever, cough, muscle pains or any respiratory symptoms their visit will be rescheduled until they are completely well.
Patient Hand Hygiene: All patients and visitors are required to sanitize their hands using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer provided by our office immediately upon arrival to our office. Patients will be reminded not to touch their face after sanitizing their hands.
Social Distancing: We are achieving social distancing by spacing out patients with the goal to eliminate waiting in our waiting room. To achieve this goal, we are requesting only the patient, and a caregiver if a companion is necessary, come to the appointment. We are also requiring patients to call us upon arriving to the office parking lot and we will inform them when to come to our office suite to be taken to a room. Our staff will direct patient movement in our suite to achieve social distancing between patients, please follow directions by our staff members to help us maintain a safe environment for you and other patients.
Telemedicine: In addition to our regular office hours, we are offering telemedicine options on a temporary basis. Please note some appointment types may not qualify for telemedicine visits. If you have an appointment that qualifies for a telemedicine visit you may be given the option to be seen virtually instead of at our office.
In addition to the measures outlined above we are continuing our environmental infection control and strict standards of hygiene and infection control with our staff. For more detailed information on these items please see our March 2020 blog post: https://sccsmd.com/blog/
To schedule your appointment with Noah Weisberg, M.D., Kathryn Goggins, PA-C or Barbara Acosta, PA-C please call our office at 561-775-6011 and our staff will be happy to assist you and answer any questions you have about our ongoing mitigation efforts to protect our patients and staff.
