Greetings
As of April 14, 2022, we are expecting to re-open our practice at Rock Springs during the first week in May. With that said, please be assured that we will also remain available for online appointments for those individuals who prefer or need that option. Over the next few weeks, we will keep a watchful eye on the next surge of the next variant to understand its potential effect on safety.
Our Safety Protocols
We have enhanced our environmental safety here at our offices: each suite runs air filters and UV lights (overnight). While we have always made hand sanitizers available, we have added more.
Be assured that all our practitioners are vaccinated and boosted, and they are all following additional protocols listed
here.
As of this writing, our primary focus is on hospital utilization. Because so many individuals remain unvaccinated (46%) here in Georgia, we are at greater risk for overrunning our healthcare system and taxing the already overworked healthcare professionals who need a respite from this onslaught. We therefore have a few requirements for scheduling an in-person appointment:
1) we will need a record of your vaccine card uploaded to our confidential client portal and we are requiring completion of vaccines (vax plus booster for those eligible.) To learn how to
upload your vaccine record to our confidential client portal, read about it
here
2) No guests are permitted in our lobby area – if you are a parent waiting, we request that you remain in your car or nearby. While this rarely happened in the past, we cannot permit children to wait for parents in the Lobby. If childcare is an issue, an online appointment is likely best.
3)
For more about what we need our clients to do if meeting in person, please see our short list here.
Scheduling an In-Person Appointment
If you are interested in meeting in person, please check with your practitioner for their availability for in-person slots. Our default, for now, will continue to be online sessions. Eventually, we hope to create a scheduling option for online or in-person.
Here to serve
We want to be available to you and any friends, work colleagues, or extended family who need our help. We have treatment strategies that can help individuals cope with the effect and after-effects of the pandemic. Please consider sharing our willingness to be of help by referring to our Facebook page or website.
If you are a client or former client and need to check in with us, please use our portal or simply reply to this email and we will connect you with a practitioner.
Please stay safe and well and we will look forward to seeing you soon!
