On Tuesday, the CDC & ADA recommended suspending all routine dental care and elective procedures in a continued effort to flatten the curve with regard to the spread of COVID-19. In accordance with that recommendation, I’ve made the difficult decision to stop all elective dental procedures in our office at this time.
Our tentative plan is to resume routine and elective dental care with a modified schedule on April 14th. Please understand they can extend these time frames that have been recommended.
I realize this will likely cause inconveniences for many of you. The following are ways we plan to be here for you to try to make this temporary situation more bearable:
1. I will be available in the office for emergencies/urgent dental care on specific days and times.
2. We will have staff members in the office available to answer phone calls and triage emergencies accordingly. Please call 303-346-4495 to verify office hours during this time. Tentative office hours will be:
Monday, March 23rd, Tuesday, March 24th, & Thursday, March 26th, 9AM-3PM. Again, please call our office to verify hours as things have been changing daily. We will also have a phone number listed on our voicemail for emergency patients to call when the office is not open.
On a personal note, I certainly understand many of you may be experiencing uncertainty in your life and work during this time. We are in this together. As a small business owner, the financial impact of COVID-19 to my practice is profound, but the consequences of not doing my part by following the CDC & ADA guidelines would be much more devastating. I encourage you all to support each other and any local businesses whenever you can so we can all get through this and eventually get our community and country back up and running.
Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and appreciate your understanding.
Thanks and I hope to see you again soon!
