Our healthcare providers and staff take COVID – 19 and other infectious illnesses seriously and want to inform you of our policy and precautions. Our goal is to protect our at-risk patients and to keep our clinical staff healthy and available to care for the community.
Our team welcomed the opportunity to get the COVID-19 vaccine, and we continue to take the following precautions.
We ask that only healthy patients visit our office, and patients are screened as part of our pre-operative process and on arrival. Please inform our staff of recent travel and any COVID-19 exposures or illness. We may suggest that you reschedule your appointment.
Patients experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms or losing taste or smell should consult their primary care doctor and reschedule their appointment after recovery.
We also ask that patients limit guests to help us socially distance ourselves. Only the patient should come into the office unless the patient is a minor or needs caregiver assistance.
All employees must use hand sanitizer, wash their hands with soap and warm water, and avoid touching their faces. We will respectfully refrain from handshaking. Employees with cold-like symptoms must stay home or are sent home and required to follow up with their primary care doctor for testing and care. Employees must follow relevant state travel restrictions or quarantines, should any be in effect.
We also provide extra cleaning and extensive disinfecting throughout the offices, including exam rooms, check-in areas, waiting room chairs, doorknobs, and bathrooms.
Our dermatology providers will continue to provide Teledermatology to care for new or existing patients located in New Hampshire remotely—via a phone or video call.
Patients are encouraged to call the office, and we will address any questions specific to their medical situation. Our healthcare providers and staff thank you for helping us stop the spread of COVID-19 and other infectious illnesses.
Regards,
Seacoast Dermatology
