5/14/2021 CDC has recently updated their guidelines for full vaccinated people. These recommendations can help you make decisions about daily activities after you are fully vaccinated. They are not intended for healthcare settings.
As we slowly begin to offer in-office visits again, Lake Travis Integrative Medicine wants to be sure we do our part to protect our patients and our staff.
We will continue to offer telemedicine and video appointments by default, however, in office appointments are available by request.
We are following the Texas Medical Board’s safety guidelines as well as implementing the following:
- Conducting patient health screening questionnaires prior to each in office appointment
- Checking the temperature of all employees and patients who visit our office
- Limiting the number of in office visits per day so we have plenty of time to sanitize between appointments
- Hand Sanitizer will be available throughout the office.
- Masks must be worn at all times. Masks will be available if you do not have one.
If you answer “yes” to any of the following questions, please notify us prior scheduling an in office appointment or visiting the office.
- Have you or anyone in your household had any of the following symptoms in the last 21 days: sore throat, cough, chills, body aches for unknown reasons, shortness of breath for unknown reasons, loss of smell, loss of taste, fever at or greater than 100 degrees Fahrenheit?
