Coronavirus (COVID-19) Precautionary Measures

Despite recent cases of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) causing concern in New York State, South Shore Neurologic Associates, P.C. would like to assure you that our practice is still open and able to provide you with high quality neurological care. With guidance from the Centers for Disease Control, our staff is taking all the necessary steps to make sure we can continue to provide health care for our patients while also reducing any risk of being exposed to COVID-19. We have implemented rigorous precautionary measures to help mitigate the spread of the virus:

• All patients MUST WEAR A FACE MASK in order to be seen in the office. If you are not able to wear a mask, we can make a reasonable accommodation and schedule a virtual visit for you.

• Please remain at home and re-schedule your appointment with us if you or anyone in your household:
  • Is exhibiting respiratory symptoms such as a dry cough, sore throat, sneezing, fatigue, shortness of breath, and/or a temperature above 100.4 F,
  • Have tested positive for COVID-19, are awaiting results, or have been in close contact with a person who has tested positive,
  • Have travelled internationally within the last 14 days or have had close contact with a person who has.

• Patients will be screened by phone and in person as they enter the office and we will re-schedule any patients that show symptoms of illness.

• Employees who are not feeling well will not be permitted to work and must be evaluated by a physician before returning.

• Phreesia tablets and all high touchpoints are routinely cleaned with a broad spectrum disinfectant after every use.

• All frequently touched surfaces within our offices such as workstations, doorknobs, countertops, handrails, etc. are thoroughly cleaned daily.

• Providers and employees are instructed to wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or with alcohol-based hand sanitizer upon entering an exam room or before any interaction with a patient.

• Avoid handshaking (this is common practice in hospitals and other healthcare clinics), or any other unnecessary physical contact.

• The CDC is advising that we implement social distancing for all staff and patients.  Patients will be advised that family members that are not essential to the visit must wait in the car.  We will adjust seating arrangements in the office to adhere to this guideline.

• No outside vendors or drug representatives will be permitted entry into any of our 3 offices.
