Here’s what we’re doing to ensure safety for both patients and providers at the Tia Clinic:
Safety begins before your appointment
To prevent exposure for our patients and staff, all Covid-related concerns will be addressed virtually (read: not at the Tia Clinic)
All patients coming into the clinic will answer a pre-visit health screening via text to assess symptoms before arrival
Appointment check-ins will be done 100% virtually
Safety first at the Tia Clinic
Strict social distancing throughout
One person at a time in the elevator
Spaced out seating in our living room
Staggered appointments (a limited number of patients will be allowed in the clinic at a time)
Extra safety protocols
Upon arrival, every patient will receive a mask, a temperature check, and asked to wash their hands
We are keeping the Tia Clinic extra clean, by disinfecting all counter surfaces and medical equipment after each patient, throughout the day, and every evening with EPA-approved products
All Tia staff members screened daily, testing regularly for COVID-19 and providing personal protective gear for respiratory and contact precautions
