Hello Coral Dental Family. We are excited to announce we will be able to welcome you back starting June 1.
It has been quite unusual not seeing each of you during this time and we are very much looking forward to being able to provide the care your mouth, teeth, and gums deserve.
When you are able to return you may notice some changes within the office. These measures have been implemented to ensure your safety. Our office has always utilized personal protective equipment (PPE) that has exceeded all the CDC guidelines, however, in light of the COVID-19 Pandemic we have instituted additional protocols and equipment. We are changing our policy for PPE and reviewing our current infection control policies with increased team training to insure safety against Covid-19. To allow for social distancing and to minimize the number of people in the office and interactions, we are rearranging our schedule and we will be setting up easier payment arrangements so that both you and our front desk team remain as safe and healthy as possible.
For further information regarding some of the enhanced precautions we have taken to protect you, please see the attached document.
It is important to know that before your next appointment, you will be contacted 48-72 hours prior via phone, text or email and asked a set of health-related questions. It is required that we complete this questionnaire prior to your appointment. Failure to do so will require rescheduling of the appointment.
Please note that we will also continue to provide teledentistry services for consultations or communication that can be done online or through video education to minimize the need for in person interaction.
We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at 295-8040 or visit us at https://www.coraldental.bm. Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.
Sincerely,
Drs. Rabain, Donnelly, Johnson and Team
