Dear Patients and Families,

As concerns within our community regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) are rising, we would like to inform you that our team at Cary Dermatology is working diligently to keep our patients safe.

Please note the following updates from our practice:

We already follow strict infection control protocols in our clinic that keep our facilities safe for all patients, and we are continuing to follow these best practices.

In addition, we have implemented a special COVID-19 preparedness plan and have asked any employees who are feeling sick to remain at home until they are better.

As a patient, you can help us protect the health and well-being of our patients and our community by following these guidelines:

If you have a fever or are experiencing symptoms of a respiratory infection (e.g., cough, sore throat, fever or difficulty breathing),or history of travel to areas experiencing transmission of COVID-19 or contact with possible COVID-19 patients please call our office to cancel your appointment.  When you are completely well or had a waiting period, we will do our best to reschedule any cancellations from this time period as soon as possible.

Follow CDC recommendations for preventing illness, such as proper hand washing with soap and water, , avoiding close contact with people who are sick, disinfecting frequently touched surfaces, and covering your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.  

We thank you in advance for your cooperation in helping us keep all our patients and staff well.

Respectfully,

     The staff and providers at Cary Dermatology
