As we move forward during these times of COVID-19, we are all taking precautions in our everyday life.

Foot & Ankle Specialists is open for all services, treatment, and procedures. Our team is doing our best to make everyone as safe and comfortable as possible.

To achieve this, we will be enforcing the following CDC guidelines as listed below:

1. Patients have the choice of either in-office or tele-video consults.
2. We are limiting the number of people in the office to accommodate the necessary physical social distancing of 6 feet.
3. Appointments in office will be limited to one person at a time (the patient) to accommodate necessary physical social distancing. If a patient desires the assistance of a loved one during their appointment, Facetime is welcomed.
4. Everyone is required to wear a face mask or covering in the office.
5. Everyone is required to use hand sanitizer upon entering the office.
6. Patients will have their temperatures taken upon entering the office. Any patient with a temperature over 99.9°F will need to reschedule and is advised to be tested for COVID-19.
7. Patients that display any flu- or cold-like symptoms upon entering the office will need to reschedule and are advised to be tested for COVID-19.

Our team will also enforce the following CDC guidelines regarding sanitation:

1. Hand sanitizers will be available throughout the office.
2. We will be sanitizing on an hourly basis all common areas of the practice, including door handles that may be used by a patient or staff.
3. We will be sanitizing waiting room chairs between each use.
4. We will be sanitizing exam rooms thoroughly between each use.
5. We will sanitize any writing instrument provided for signing after each use.

Dr. Michael Powers, one of our founding providers, will be retiring in June of 2022.  Please wish him the very best in his well-deserved retirement. Our doctors, staff, and his patients will miss him dearly.

Also, please join us in welcoming Dr. Pauline Seymour to the Foot and Ankle Specialists team!!  Dr. Seymour will be available for new patients at our 72nd St. location starting June 7th.
