Gardner Plastic Surgery is OPEN as of Monday May 4th, 2020
Gardner Plastic Surgery - We’re Back!
We are pleased to report we have been open now for two weeks and are moving forward with expanding our offerings. The operating room is open and the surgery schedule is filling up. In addition to Botox, fillers are now available (with proper precautions). We have established a comprehensive protocol of screening, patient management with social distancing, and sanitizing that has both patients and staff comfortable. We recognize there are risks involved with providing services, so our over-riding concern is to provide an environment that minimizes those risks.
Following proper safety guidelines established by the CDC and Florida Board of Medicine is our top priority. PLEASE follow the guidelines listed to ensure compliance.
Important Patient Guidelines:
- All patients will be screened during the scheduling process and again upon entry. This will include a temperature test.
- If you have had a fever, cough, positive COVID-19 test, or exposure to someone with COVID-19, or have been on a cruise or have had foreign travel within the past 14 days please let us know. CLICK HERE for a COVID-19 symptom guide.
- Please try to do as much “paperwork” online as possible to avoid having to handle the iPad or pens in the office. CLICK HERE to access our patient portal where you can complete this work online.
- In addition to standard forms, all patients must print out our COVID-19 risk informed consent form, fill out, sign, and email it back to us before your visit. CLICK HERE for form instructions.
- All patients are required to wear a mask or face covering upon entry and during the appointment as appropriate. Supplies are extremely limited, so we do not have extra masks or gloves. CLICK HERE for a guide on making your own mask.
- Our staff will be wearing masks and PPE appropriate to the situation.
- Only patients will be brought into the office. No family members, friends, or children, please. Exceptions may be made for certain postop patients requiring assistance. The waiting area is closed to reduce exposure.
- All patients must call us when they arrive in the parking lot and wait in the car for us to clear them to come into the office. This is to ensure your room is properly sanitized and ready for you. Again, our waiting area is not open.
- Please consider skipping numbing cream prior to Botox and injectable treatments to limit exposure time in our office.
- Please avoid cash payments if possible. We will have a credit card machine available to swipe your card to minimize handling.
- Patients are welcome and encouraged to do a telehealth or virtual appointment for their consultation or post-op appointments IF a physical exam is not necessary.
- Appointments will be scheduled to avoid having several patients in the office at once. We also need more time between patients for proper sanitizing.
- The coffee and beverage station is not available.
