COVID-19 Precautions at our office
The CDC considers non-hospital based, outpatient dermatology offices to be a low risk exposure environment for COVID-19, as we do not see or treat patients for COVID-19. Even though we are a low risk environment, we have instituted the same personal protective equipment and sanitation guidelines recommended by the CDC for medical practices and businesses.
Modern Dermatology and our medical personnel are following the below guidelines to ensure the safety of our patients and staff:
· Clinic Cleaning/Sanitization
We are constantly sanitizing and cleaning all surfaces in our labs, patient rooms, waiting rooms, offices, between patients.
· HEPA Air Filters
We have placed air purifiers with HEPA filtration around the practice and in every patient room to capture particles the size of the virus that causes COVID-19.
· HVAC System
We recently placed new filtration systems in our entire building’s HVAC system and have turned the system on high to increase air circulation throughout the practice.
We are confident that we have created one of the safest places in our community for our patients to be and are happy to be able to provide you care during this time.
If you have recently been tested positive for COVID or are experiencing symptoms, please call us at (206)489-2530 to reschedule your appointment. We will reschedule your appointment 2 weeks after your COVID positive test to ensure we meet the CDC recommendations that patients should remain at home and in isolation until the resolution of symptoms.
