Our Commitment During COVID-19
Our Commitment to Keeping Patients Safe During COVID-19
RCSD is committed to patient safety during their office visits. We have implemented a series of COVID-19 guidelines and practice safety procedures.
Screening:
- Patients will be contacted prior to their visit for screening and to assess the presence of any COVID-19 symptoms.
- All patients, staff, physicians, and managers have their temperatures taken upon arrival to work and screened daily for risk factors.
Personal Protective Equipment
- We require all patients wear a mask over their nose and mouth for the duration of their visit. Masks will be provided as needed.
- All staff, physicians, and managers will wear masks at all times.
Social Distancing
- We are enforcing social distancing of at least 6 feet in the lobby and waiting rooms.
- We disinfect all surfaces that patients come into contact with between patient exams.
- Only patients are allowed to enter the office, unless a companion is needed due to physical, emotional, or translation.
Vaccinations
- We are following the CDC recommendations that all health care staff in contact with patients should get the vaccine. Therefore, all physicians, managers, and staff who are in contact with patients will be vaccinated.
