What We are Doing To Keep You Safe
Here is what we’ll be adding to your patient experience:
- Checking in before you arrive - Our eCheck-In process will be a new requirement prior to arriving so that all forms and co-pays can be processed remotely, in addition to remotely verifying insurance.
- This will allow you to skip the front desk and go directly into an exam room
- A member of our team will call ahead of time to help you if your eCheck-in is incomplete.
- We’ve reduced the need for paper forms while on-site and shifted to a remote check-in process. While we still have them available for those who cannot access the internet, anyone who has internet access can fill out their patient forms online at the Shinedds.com website by clicking on the, "patient log in link, "or the, "new patient forms," link.
- Staff monitored welcome stations - hand sanitation and temperature checks will be mandatory at this checkpoint.(please adhere to arrival times provided by our staff to allow for these new protocols)
- Limited visitors - Only the patient is allowed in the office. For patients who require a caretaker, one adult may accompany the patient.
- Infection control- As always, the rooms will be sanitized thoroughly and instruments will be sterilized in between patients. Your room will have been thoroughly cleaned prior to your arrival.
