We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months and all of us are looking forward to opening our doors to serve our community. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.
Infection control has always been a top priority of our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it`s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.
Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the BC College of Dentists, Centre`s for Disease (CDC), Provincial Health Office (PHO) and Work Safe BC. We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up to date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued.
You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff.
Screening: Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. You`ll be asked these same questions again when you are in the office. We may be taking you and your child`s temperature to ensure you are well when you arrive.
Physical Distancing: Appointments will be managed to allow for physical distancing between patients. That might mean that you are offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment.
We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time.
When coming for your appointment please make every effort to arrive at your scheduled time and ensure that you have utilized the restroom if needed.
Infection Control: We have hand sanitizer that we ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also find some in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed.
You will see that our waiting room will no longer offer magazines and children`s books that are difficult to disinfect after each use.
Increased disinfection of common areas including waiting rooms and children`s play areas. New personal protective equipment like face shields and gowns used by Dr Gerry and staff.
We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you and your family safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at (604) 983-2253 or visit our website at www.pacificpdc.com.
We value your trust and loyalty and are excited to welcome back our patients, neighbours and friends.
Sincerely
Dr Gerry & staff
