• All common areas are frequently disinfected (hallways between reception and treatment space, lunch room, staff change room, light switches, door handles, staff washroom, etc)
• Public areas in use (main washroom, reception desk, entrance, ) are disinfected between each patient use

We are happy to be able to treat our patients at this time and are proceeding with utmost caution, it is our intention to have you feel confident that your safety is our primary concern.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
