๐GREAT NEWS! ๐ With the governor's executive order 2020-96 we will resume regular orthodontic appointments on Friday May 29th! ๐ฅณ
The past few months have been very difficult and challenging for everyone, and will continue to pose unprecedented tests of sacrifice, endurance, and resilience for every household and business within our community. My Team and I have additionally struggled with the inability to provide regular care for our wonderful patients. We are so excited to see you soon! ๐
๐ I share your strong desire to get you in for your appointment as soon as possible. Upon reopening, we will be working additional days and hours to accommodate our patients. However, due to the number of rescheduled appointments, there will be fewer appointment options for the first few weeks of our return (when compared to our pre-COVID-19 schedule). We thank you in advance for your flexibility and understanding.
๐
Beginning Wednesday, May 27th, we will start texting and/or calling our patients to reschedule missed appointments on a first-canceled-first-rescheduled basis. โผ๏ธYou do not need to call ๐ต us to reschedule. Please wait for us to contact you.โผ๏ธ Our goal is to contact all patients by June 4th. I believe this is the fairest and most efficient strategy for meeting everyoneโs needs of getting their treatment back on track.
๐งผ We will be sharing additional office safety protocols prior to your appointment. Thank you ๐ again for your patience and flexibility needed over the next few weeks to ensure I can see every patient in a timely manner.
P.S. Flossie, our office therapy ๐ถ dog, received her certification at the beginning of March. She is excited to meet all of you, but due to COVID-19, her start date at the office needs to be temporarily postposed until further notice. ๐พ
