A COVID-19 update from our office:
• We are currently seeing patients for routine and emergency visits at both offices.
• We are encouraging anyone who is sick to stay home. This applies to employees, doctors, and patients. Employees' temperatures are checked upon arrival.
• All employees and patients are required to wear masks.
• We have modified our schedules to space out appointment times and allow for social distancing. For this reason, we ask that patients arrive at their appointment time and not arrive early.
• We are screening patients for COVID-19 symptoms over the phone and checking temperatures at check-in.
• We are asking that patients only bring essential family members to their visit.
• We have blocked off chairs in the waiting areas to maintain a six-foot distance between patients.
• We have removed shareable material, such as magazines, from the waiting areas.
• Exam rooms are sanitized after every patient. Countertops and other surfaces are sanitized frequently.
Your health and safety is our top priority. We will continue to monitor for any new recommendations from the CDC. Thank you for trusting Eye Physicians & Surgeons of Chicago.
