- Pre-screening questionnaires for each patient
- True HEPA 13 air filters in each room, lobby and the check out area
- Every room has been isolated
- Staff are wearing appropriate PPE
- masks, gloves, face shields, gowns, surgical caps
- Assisted hygiene is implemented when necessary to limit the amount of aerosols in the air
- Number of patients at one time in the office is greatly decreased
