The Physicians and staff at OFAC are committed to the health and safety of our patients. We continue to closely monitor and follow all state and local guidance in regards to Covid-19. Following the most recent state and federal guidelines issued, we have adopted the following screening and safety measures:
PATIENT APPOINTMENTS
IMPORTANT! Please reschedule your appointment or inquire about telemedicine if you answer YES to any of the following questions…- Have you or anyone in your household tested positive or are awaiting test results for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)?
- Have you been in close physical contact (6 feet or closer for a cumulative total of 15 minutes) within the past 14 days with anyone who is known to have laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) or anyone who has any symptoms consistent with COVID-19?
- Have you experienced any of the following symptoms in the past 48 hours: Fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion, runny nose, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea?
If you experience an acute foot or ankle injury, condition or wound issue requiring prompt attention, please call our office at (614) 895-8747. During regular business hours, ask to speak to a clinical team member. Our on-call physician is available for urgent after-hours concerns to help avoid unnecessary trips to the ER.
MASKS & FACE COVERINGS
Based on the guidance of the CDC, as well as that of state and local municipalities, face masks are recommended but not mandated. Face coverings/masks are recommended for individuals that are not up to date with all recommended COVID-19 vaccine doses; are immunocompromised or at high risk for severe illness; or someone in their household meets the above criteria. Staff will wear a mask upon patient request.
SOCIAL DISTANCING
For the safety and respect of all, we ask that patients maintain at least 6 feet of distance from staff and other patients while in our office.
OUR OFFICES
As healthcare providers, state regulatory agencies require that we maintain our offices according to strict protocols for sterilization and disinfection. These protocols provide consistent protection to patients and providers at all times and are especially important in regard to the current situation with COVID-19. In addition to standard protocols we have increased the frequency of our sanitation process.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our office at (614) 895-8747.
