Clinic Policy and Procedures:
Your health and safety is always our highest priority and we know you may have questions and concerns with the news about COVID-19, also referred to as novel coronavirus.
We are taking every precaution to ensure your wellbeing during your visit to our facilities. There is no need to cancel your appointment unless you are feeling unwell with signs of COVID-19 infection which include fever, shortness of breath, coughing, and sore throat.
We have rigorous standard sanitary protocols in place and are taking all measures to reduce the spread of any infections. At this time we ask that patients limit the number of people they bring in with them to their appointments.
If you are able to come to your appointment by yourself, please do so, otherwise please limit additional guests to only necessary caregivers.
If you have a fever and/or are feeling unwell with difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, please advise us so that we can reschedule your appointment.
When visiting our clinic, please wash your hands, use our hand sanitizers, and tissues. Masks are also to be worn in the clinic. Please feel free to ask any of our staff for assistance when you arrive.
Thank you for entrusting Komyuniti with your care. We’re proud to serve you and look forward to continuing to do so.
