At Eye Associates of South Texas, our top priority is protecting the health and safety of our patients, visitors, and staff. We are now open, however, we have put in place new policies and guidelines to promote social distancing to contain the spread of COVID-19. These steps are critical to protecting the health of our entire community. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Patients are must wear a mask, scarf, bandana, or other facial covering during their appointment to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
We are taking extra precautions to protect our patients, staff, and physicians from the spread of COVID-19.
These include:
- All staff and patients are checked daily for fever, cough, or other COVID-19 like symptoms before they are allowed to start their work schedule.
- Patients arriving at our office will be screened before entering the waiting room and seeing our physicians.
- Patients are encouraged to travel alone, unless they require a companion for ambulation, triaged, or other special circumstances.
- All patients are triaged by asking about their travel history, fever, cough, runny nose, shortness of breath, diarrhea, etc.
- All patients will have their temperature taken and if high the patient will have their appointment two weeks later.
- If patients have symptoms, they are asked to reschedule their appointment for two weeks later.
- All patients have their hand sanitized once they check-in.
- All rooms are sanitized after each patient. All surfaces at our practice are also sanitized every hour.
- All staff wear masks, gloves, and googles for their protection and the protection of our patients.
