May 11, 2020
To our patients,
We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. As of May 18, 2020, we will be open for all services (essential, non-essential, and cosmetic). As we begin providing dental care to our patients again, we are examining the physical measures we have always taken in our office to protect the health and safety of our patients and team.
We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at (818) 347-5124 or visit our website at WoodlandHillsDentalArts.com.
While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your health. Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:
If you have a fever, cough, cold, flu-like aches/symptoms, etc. in the 14 days prior to your appointment, or if you come in contact with anyone with these symptoms in the 14 days prior to your appointment, please call us to reschedule. We are holding our team members to the same standards.
Of course, our office will continue with our already-vigilant disinfection/sterilization procedures regarding instruments and equipment, and we will utilize personal protective equipment to keep everyone as safe as possible.
Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming you back soon.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kenneth Hirsch, Dr. Arjang Naminik, and Team
