COVID-19

We know there is a growing concern as the outbreak and impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to evolve. Ensuring the health, safety and wellbeing of our patients is always our #1 priority and is especially critical at this time. 

Chandler Endocrinology is dedicated to maintaining a high-level of cleanliness and sanitation in all areas. While our day-to-day cleaning procedures are already comprehensive, we are taking additional steps to keep our patients and staff safe. In addition to our morning and evening deep cleanings of the exam rooms, procedure room and lobby, staff members are performing sanitizing walk-throughs every hour in the office and bathrooms. All door handlers, countertops, cabinets, arm rests and pens are cleaned with disinfectant throughout the day. Hand sanitizers are made available throughout the office for patient and provider use. Rooms are wiped down with medical grade antibacterial wipes in between patients.

To patients with upcoming appointments: if you are sick, have a fever or cough or have recently traveled outside of the country or to areas with a cluster of positive (covid-19) testing. Please call the office to reschedule your appointment. 

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

Sincerely,

Lyuba Belitsky, M.D.

CDC always recommends everyday preventative actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases including:

• Avoid     close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid     touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
• Stay      home when you are sick.
• Cover     your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue into the trash.
• Clean     and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using regular      household cleaning spray.
• Wash     your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially      after going to the bathroom: before eating and after blowing your nose,      coughing or sneezing.
• If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer      with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
