COVID

At Raleigh Hand to Shoulder Center, we care about the health of our patients, staff, and community. Please reschedule your appointment if you have symptoms of COVID-19 or have recently tested positive for COVID. We have implemented several strategies to reduce the risk of COVID-19 in our office:

All physicians and therapists have been fully vaccinated to protect against COVID-19. The doctors have received booster shots. All employees have been encouraged to receive the vaccine and booster shots.

Patients, visitors, and staff may choose to wear a face mask while in our office. A mask can be provided to a patient who does not have one. Wearing a face mask is optional in our office.

Patients will be asked to reschedule if they are experiencing signs or symptoms of possible COVID infection. 

Everyone is encouraged to use hand sanitizers, which are located in exam rooms and throughout the office. Sinks, warm water and soap are also available for hand washing.

Exam room tables are wiped with disinfectant between patients by our office staff. 

HEPA air filters have been installed in several locations within our office. 

Social distancing guidelines are followed whenever possible. Physical examinations of the patient will be performed as appropriate for diagnosis and treatment. 

Employees are required to stay home if they have signs or symptoms of infection or if they have a fever. 

Telemedicine is available for patients who are not able to have an in-person visit. 

We review the CDC and NC Department of Health guidelines for recommendations. We routinely monitor local and state COVID-19 case counts. We encourage people in the community to get vaccinated to protect themselves, their families, and our community.
