What precautions are set in place to ensure the health & safety of your employees and customers.
We take the current health crisis very seriously by monitoring the CDC’s guidelines and following recommended safety protocols. Prior to May 1
st
, we were only seeing acute patients who met our screening criteria and needed care that could not wait. We are seeing patients by appointment only and have suspended treating walk-in patients (for now). Prior to scheduling an appointment, the patient is screened by questionnaire. Upon arrival to the clinic, we ask that the patients call from the car before entering to be sure a treatment room is ready, as well as to limit interaction with other patients. Should a patient have to wait, our seating is spread out over 6 feet apart. Upon entering the clinic, we dispense hand sanitizer, and new pen is given to keep for signing in. Each patient has his or her temperature checked prior to treatment. Treatment rooms are thoroughly sanitized between each patient. Staff, including myself, also have temperature checks in the morning, and in the afternoon. We also wear masks.
What have you learned about your business or the community during this crisis?
This crisis has been an eye opener for us. Closing our office to all but our acute patients as a new business in the community has been scary to say the least. (We celebrated our second anniversary on April 1
st
. I was concerned that we might lose some of our patients but quickly learned that our patients and our community is flexible and loyal. Everyone who has returned has been appreciative of us putting their safety and wellness as our top priority.
Highlight something special your business has been a part of during this time.
I have been able to help many of my patients by phone. I have been able to give guidance on stretching, applying heat or ice, or whatever instructions might be important for their situation. This has allowed our patients to stay home and stay safe until they are able to come into the clinic.
Anything else you would like the community to know about your business?
I was raised in the South Belt area. I graduated from Dobie, the University of St. Thomas in Houston, and the Texas Chiropractic College in Pasadena. Through God’s Amazing Grace, we acquired Stoke’s Chiropractic in April of 2018 – right in the heart of my hometown. Our plan is to be here for many years to come, helping and healing our community.
