ASC’s COVID-19 Practice & Patient Safety Measures

Advanced Specialty Care’s COVID-19 Practice & Patient Safety Measures

4/3/2023 update:  we are no longer requiring masks unless you are exhibiting symptoms including nasal/sinus congestion, headache, cough, fever, sore throat, or shortness of breath.

The coronavirus crisis has touched upon most everyone in our world and at Advanced Specialty Care we have both been monitoring recommendations and proactively implementing protective measures for our patients and our staff.

Your well being is our top priority and we are dedicated to ensuring you have access to specialty healthcare services including including ENT, Allergy, Dermatology, Plastic Surgery and Audiology care when you need them. We have remained open to continue to service our community and to help reduce the strain on hospitals and Emergency Rooms during this time of need.

To ensure the health and safety of our patients and staff, we’ve implemented the following advanced protective measures:

1.) All new appointment requests have been and will continue to be screened for symptoms and contacts. All who indicate fever or feverish feelings anytime in the last week or who have had a contact with a known infected patient are referred to our telehealth physician screening.

4.) All visitors are required to wear a mask upon entry to our office.

5.) Universal precautions are firmly mandated in our office so all clinical staff and physicians when in the exam room with a patient will be wearing masks and have cleaned their hands prior to encountering the patients.

6.) All exam rooms are cleaned thoroughly between patient visits with appropriate disinfectants as well as all the hard surfaces in our waiting room regularly.

7.) All equipment used in patient care is carefully discarded or properly sterilized between uses.

8.) Any employees who show any signs of respiratory illness and/or fever have been sent home with their return predicated on negative Corona Virus  testing confirmed.

9.) We are deploying ‘social distancing’ in the office wherever we can for our staff and our patients.

10.) We have deployed rigorous screening and disinfecting protocols within all of our offices.

11.) Telehealth appointment services are also now available, where medically appropriate, for both new and existing patients via phone or video call. In-office visits remain available for all specialties in our Danbury, Ridgefield, Norwalk, Stamford and New Milford office locations.

We continue to do all that we can to care for our patients and, perhaps more importantly, do our part in serving the needs of our local healthcare community. Anything we can do to relieve some of the burden on primary care offices as well as the hospital and emergency room helps everyone.

We’re here to serve you and we’re in this together!
