REPRODUCTIVE FERTILITY CENTER (RFC) continues to closely monitor the spread of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Our top priorities are the health and safety of our patients and staff. At this time, the following changes have been made:

FACE MASKS OR COVERINGS ARE MANDATORY FOR ALL STAFF AND VISITORS ABSOLUTELY NO ONE WILL BE ALLOWED TO ENTER OFFICE WITHOUT COVERING IN PLACE.

ALL RFC STAFF, PATIENTS AND VISITORS WILL HAVE THEIR TEMPERATURE TAKEN DAILY, BEFORE ENTERING THE OFFICE, UNTIL IT BECOMES SAFE TO CHANGE THE POLICY. STAFF WILL NOT COME TO WORK IF THEY HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS INCLUDING FEVER AND SORE THROAT, AMONG OTHERS. STAFF WILL ALSO HAVE THEIR TITERS TESTED (ONCE TEST IS AVAILABLE), AS MANDATED BY CITY AND STATE

• All patients will be screened over the phone through a series of questions, to make sure there are no signs/symptoms of COVID 19 both at the time of scheduling the appointment, and on the confirmation call before the appointment. If any symptoms are present the appointment will be canceled until the patient has tested negative for COVID 19.
• The number of patients seen per day, as well as the overall number of people allowed in our offices at any one time has been lowered to allow for strict adherence to social distancing guidelines.
• All surfaces will be cleaned through out the day, and exam rooms will be thoroughly cleaned BETWEEN uses using disinfectant between each patient and all surfaces will be wiped, pens will be wiped between each use.
• During this time patients are asked to come alone to their appointments. If necessary, one person only may accompany them to an appointment.
• We have available 2 additional waiting rooms (516 and 517) to maintain social distancing, or should you feel more comfortable
• Same procedure goes for the operating room
• Anesthesia machine will have a changeable filter between each patient and will be cleaned to avoid cross contamination
• We will keep on top of any new guidelines from federal, state and local municipalities and adjust our protocols accordingly
