COVID-19 Updates for Palm Harbor Plastic Surgery Centre

May 4, 2020

Welcome Back to Palm Harbor Plastic Surgery Centre

Palm Harbor Plastic Surgery Centre is pleased to announce that with the most recent executive order by Governor Ron Desantis, and under the guidance of the White House Corona Virus Task Force, and the CDC, elective surgery will resume in Florida as of May 4, 2020. While COVID-19 has caused many changes in our practice, a strong commitment to patient safety remains our most important guiding principle as we move forward. We are excited about reopening our practice and we are committed to protecting our patients from COVID-19. We are also committed to maintaining the high standards we have set over the past 30 years, by providing excellent plastic surgery and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures to our patients.

• Enhanced Screening– every person entering our facility will be checked for symptoms of COVID-19 such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath and asked about recent travel, illness or exposure to a known COVID-19 patient.Their temperature will be checked by our contact-less thermometer.
• Face Masks and Personal Protective Equipment- All of our staff members will be wearing face masks and PPE as needed.
• Strategic Patient Flow Measures– foot traffic will be carefully monitored to observe proper social distancing and minimize waiting times. We offer Curb-side check-in if desired. We will only allow 3 patients in our waiting room at any given time. Virtual consultation and follow-up will be readily available.
• AAAASF standards for an Ambulatory Surgery Centre– we exceed the highest standards for an ambulatory surgery centre including HEPA air filtration systems, hospital grade sanitation of all patient contact areas and surfaces after each patient encounter.

As you can see we have been busy preparing Palm Harbor Plastic Surgery Centre for your return. We are truly excited about restarting elective procedures and surgery. We are also dedicated to providing you with the confidence that our facility is entirely safe. Thank you for placing your trust in Palm Harbor Plastic Surgery Centre.

Stay safe and healthy,

Dr. Jay Ross, Dr. Jennifer Buck and our entire staff
