COVID-19 Safety Guide
Keeping our community safe.
We’ve all been through a lot over the last few months, and our hearts go out to everyone who has been affected. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same—our commitment to your safety and health. As we welcome everyone back, we want to let you know about the work we’ve been doing to keep you safe.
This new COVID-19 Safety Guide highlights changes to your visit experience. We’re closely monitoring the CDC, ADA, OSHA, and WISHA. As they update their guidelines, we’ll update our safety practices in real-time and reflect those here. Please contact us with any questions or concerns prior to your visit. Thank you for supporting our local practice—we value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors, and friends.
— Dr. Leo Yudkin and Team
A safer visit starts before you come in
We’ll get in touch to ask some new screening questions that help us understand if you can be seen at this time. If not, we’ll ask you to reschedule. You’ll be asked those same questions again when you arrive.
For safety, we ensure minimal appointment overlap. We’ll do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time.
Only parents, guardians, translators or interpreters, and other necessary support people should accompany patients to appointments, and only if their presence is required for treatment.
Changes when you arrive at our office
TEMPERATURE CHECKS
We’ll take your temperature with a contactless thermometer. If you have a fever, we’ll ask you to reschedule.

FACE COVERINGS
We require masks or cloth face coverings to be worn in the office before and after your treatment. If you forgot to bring your own, we’ll provide you with one.

MINIMIZING WAITING
To minimize the number of people in our waiting room, we’ll ask that you remain in your vehicle and only enter the office at your scheduled appointment time. We’ll be ready for you!

SOCIAL DISTANCING
We’ll require everyone to maintain at least six feet of separation as they move through the office when possible.

REMOVING SHARED ITEMS
For the time being, we’re limiting items that are difficult to clean and disinfect such as headphones, takeaway bags, brochures, and magazines in the waiting room. If you would like to use headphones during your visit, please bring your own.

HAND WASHING
We’ll ask that you take a moment to wash your hands or use the provided hand sanitizer when you arrive. There is a bathroom right by the elevators on the second and third floors of the building.
