COVID-19 GUIDLENES

The health and safety of our patients and staff is our number one priority.  Based on recommendations from the CDC and the Washoe County Health Department, we will be organizing covid 19 tests for all patients who are scheduled with anesthesia.  Patients who have been vaccinated will still need to be tested prior to surgery. We also require that everyone entering the facility wear a mask, have their temperature taken on arrival and verify that they are not experiencing any covid 19 symptoms.  As to not overcrowd our waiting area, no visitors will be allowed to wait in the Center unless the patient is a minor and, in that case, (1) parent or caregiver needs to be present.  We will do our best to keep your family member and/or ride informed of delays if they occur.  While you wait in the lobby prior to your surgery, we encourage you to keep your ride updated as well.  We appreciate you adherence to these safety measures and thank you for your patience as we all work together during these uncertain times.
