Covid Policies and Procedures at Unger Medical

Home / Covid Policies and Procedures at Unger Medical

We have been back in practice since the Spring lockdown in NY was lifted. The following precautions are in place to protect patients and staff. Please understand that our adherence to these protocols is for everyone’s protection.

Initial visits for consultation take place via telemedicine. If necessary, the patient comes in for a short visit for biopsy or pre-surgical planning. Patients who desire in-person consultations would be required to have a covid PCR test 3-5 prior to the visit.

All patients coming for procedures (lasting longer than 15 minutes), must have 3-5 days prior a covid PCR test.

Patients coming for shorter visits may enter wearing N-95 masks.

All staff are regularly tested for covid PCR and maintain strict precautions even out of office.

Staff and patients wear masks in office, despite the above precautions.

Regular cleaning of the office per Joint Commission standards, including necessary antibacterial and antiviral products.

Guardian technology HEPA and UV air cleaning systems.

Built in HEPA air cleaners in all duct work.
