Patients are informed when scheduled that they must wear a facial covering or mask when entering and exiting the office, only removed when they are seated in the treatment room; hand sanitizer is available in the reception area

-
The waiting room no longer offers magazines, children's toys and so forth as they have been removed due to inability to properly disinfect
