Coronavirus and Procedures Message

Greetings to you from Dr. Shute

These are certainly unique times as we look back and forward in this era of Covid-19. The medical and scientific communities have learned much about the virus and how to reduce its transmission. We know with certainty that the vaccination is effective. Much of your care is still provided through telepractice technology that utilizes your Smart Phone, tablet, laptop, or computer. Patients will be given a link to the Virtual Waiting Room before we connect. For new patients it is important to visit the link before our appointment to assure that your camera and microphone are working. Patients seen in the clinic will need full vaccinations prior to being seen. Everyone will follow strict precautions that include masking, reasonable distancing, hand washing/sanitizing and pre-therapy checks before entering. Treatments until further word will be conducted in this way. Do call, text or email me with any questions. Physician referrals may be faxed as usual. Thank you as we proceed together with care.

Be Well, Stay Well.
