April 15 2021 Covid Update

Dear patients,

Things continue to go well here at Johnson Optometric Associates! Our office hours are still normal. We still have a backlog of patients from being closed during 2020, so we are trying to get caught up. We appreciate your continued patience as we try to see as many patients as we can.

Please be rest assured!

The most important thing to us is the health and safety of our patients and team members. In our usual form, we’re going above and beyond to protect everyone who comes into the office. Therefore, we want to prepare you for what you can expect when scheduling and arriving for your appointment.

What you can expect from the Johnson Optometric Associates team:

In order to minimize viral exposure risk, team members will not report to work if they have any symptoms or if they suspect that they may have been exposed.

All of our team members will have their temperatures checked upon arrival for work. All of our team members will be wearing masks and protective gear at all times while in the office.

What you can expect as a Johnson Optometric Associates patient:

Your well-being is our top priority! We are pre-screening every patient prior to their appointment. Patients who show any signs or symptoms of COVID are being rescheduled for a later day.

Before you arrive: We kindly ask that you wear a mask to your appointment. We will only be permitting scheduled patients into the office, unless you are a parent of a patient who is 18 years of age or younger or a patient’s caregiver.

Below, you will find the additional precautionary and screening measures to expect:

  • When you arrive, you can come to the front doors. Unless the lobby is “full”, you will be able to wait in the lobby for your appointment.
  • Temperatures will be taken upon arrival with a touch-free thermometer. Patients with readings over 100 degrees will be rescheduled.
  • You must complete and sign the “Patient Advisory and Acknowledgment” form prior to entering the office.
  • Social distancing measures will be expected in the lobby and throughout the entire office.

We sincerely appreciate your continued support and look forward to treating you and your families!!

All the best,
Johnson Optometric Associates
