YOUR SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY
Clinic Safety Protocols
- Everyone is REQUIRED to wear a mask at all times during a visit at one of our clinics. Parents and patients over 5 years of age must wear a non-valved mask over their nose and mouth for the duration of the visit. (If you do not own a non-valved mask then a cloth covering such as a bandanna must be worn covering the nose and mouth.)
- Per our guidelines, only 1 person may accompany a child to an appointment. This person must be the parent or guardian of the patient. At this time, no other family members or individuals may attend the appointment.
- Patient/Family should arrive close to their scheduled appointment time. Do not arrive any earlier than 15 minutes beforehand, as this helps with social distancing in our clinics.
Scheduling
- At the time of scheduling, we are asking that patients come to a clinic with ONLY ONE caregiver. Additional family members may be asked to wait in their cars.
Clinic Procedures
- Upon arrival at our clinics the caregiver will be asked a screening questionnaire (for caregiver and patient).
- Our staff will check the temperature of both the patient and parent/guardian upon arrival at the clinic. A patient or parent/guardian who has a temperature of 100 degrees or higher will likely have to reschedule.
- We are requiring EVERYONE to wear a mask at all times during a visit at one of our clinics.
- To ensure social distancing in the waiting room, we may ask families to wait in their car until they are called inside by a Sibley staff member for their appointment.
- Exam tables are wiped down after each encounter.
Sibley Staff
- All Sibley staff are wearing masks and have the option to wear goggles.
- Each day we are screening our staff for symptoms and checking their temperatures prior to beginning work.
- If a patient or caregiver is deemed to be at risk for a COVID -19 infection, the physician will be notified and may reschedule the appointment at his/her discretion.
