  We value you and your health and wellness. During this unprecedented time, we are taking all necessary precautions to ensure your safety as well as that of our employees. We are continuing to monitor the current situation and following the recommendations of the California Dental Association (CDA) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to avoid the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus).
  Temporary measures at all office locations:
  We are requiring patients and guests to wear a mask when in the building.
  Patients are to bring one person only (or when appropriate two parents) to consultations and surgical treatment appointments.
  We encourage the guest providing a ride to wait in their cars during treatment.
  To limit wait times, we are asking our patients to use our website to fill out medical health questionnaires prior to the visit.
  Patients over 60 years old are being scheduled accordingly to limit exposure to other patients.
  Follow-up visits are limited to an as needed basis.
  As dedicated healthcare professionals, we want you to know that we remain as diligent as ever in protecting the health and safety of our patients and staff. Our practice strictly adheres to and exceeds the standards for infection control by wearing personal protective gear, using hospital-grade disinfectants, practicing the latest sterilization protocols, utilizing single-use disposable materials, and more. Every effort we have in place is to ensure the safety of our patients and staff. We want you to know that we are monitoring this situation very closely, and we will keep you updated regularly.
