COVID-19 Precautions

Our response to the COVID-19 Pandemic is constantly evolving, based on current guidance from government, health authorities, and professional organizations. The health and safety of my clients are my top priorities. I cannot guarantee safety, and there is risk involved for any in-person appointment at this time. We are taking reasonable precautions to control that risk.

I have the infrastructure and capacity for telehealth services, which I can discuss with you. Telehealth is not available for some testing activities. This is a characteristic of the procedure or instrument, and it is not an effect of clinic resources.

Here is a sample of Dr. Nomura’s safety precautions in effect 5/11/2020:

• Use of waiting room is being limited and clients are asked to wait in their cars.
• I am not scheduling more than 4 clients per day.
• I wear a mask when in common areas, close to clients, and when feasible.
• Clients must wear masks in all common areas.
• My staff maintains safe distancing.
• Restroom soap dispensers are maintained by the building staff, and everyone is encouraged to wash their hands.
• Hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol is available in the office. There is also a sink where you can wash your hands.
• I schedule appointments at specific intervals to minimize the number of people in the waiting room.
• I ask all patients to wait in their cars or outside until no earlier than 5 minutes before their appointment times.
• Physical contact is not permitted.
• I use disinfectant on frequently contacted surfaces related to my services after each client. This includes doorknobs, wooden table arms, testing desks, the payment counter, and the arrival notification switches.
• Tissues and trash bins are easily accessed. Trash is disposed of on a frequent basis.
• Common areas are cleaned at the end of each day.
