In an effort to avoid a crowded waiting room, Southlake Orthopaedics has implemented the following check-in process at our MedPlex (Valleydale Road) and Grandview clinics:
Wash your hands with soap and water or hand sanitizer containing 70% or more alcohol.
Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing with a bent elbow or tissue and immediately dispose of the tissue.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
Clean and disinfect objects and surfaces you frequently come in contact with.
Stay home when you are sick with respiratory symptoms, except to get medical care.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises: mildly ill patients should be encouraged to stay home and contact their healthcare provider by phone for guidance about clinical management.
Patients who have severe symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, should seek care immediately.
Older patients and individuals who have underlying medical conditions or are immunocompromised should contact their physician early in the course of even mild illness.
