COVID UpdateOPEN FOR BUSINESS AT ALL LOCATIONS
NEW POLICIES IN PLACE
Since our founding in 1980, it’s been our mission at Gulfcoast Eye Care to provide a personalized and friendly experience to all our patients, whether they’re coming in for LASIK, cataract surgery, or just an eye exam and prescription update. A few weeks ago, we had to face the new reality that the best way to ensure our patients’ health was to suspend our services and postpone appointments until further notice.
During the period in which we were closed, we worked hard to implement precautions in our office that allowed for the services and procedures on which our community has come to rely on over the last 40 years to be done safely. We are now open for business at all locations, and rest assured, we will continue to work tirelessly to ensure your health and safety while you’re in any of our offices. To schedule an appointment, call us at (727) 263-3632.
As a health care provider, we’ve always been focused on keeping our practice space as hygienic as possible for the wellbeing of our staff and our patients. With that in mind, we want to make sure our patients know everything that we’re doing to protect them so they can feel safe and comfortable at our practice in these uncertain times. We are committed to the following protocols:
Though we recognize that our hygienic shields, face masks, and social distancing may make for a less intimate experience than we’d like to offer, we’ll be just as friendly and welcoming as ever to make you feel at home.
The next time you come into any of our three locations, you’ll find a few changes. We’ll start by screening you over the phone for COVID-19 symptoms before your visit.
We’ll be limiting the amount of appointments and people we have in our practice at any given time. To that end, we ask that you come alone, and you must wear a face mask in our offices. For children or those who require special assistance, we ask that they be limited to one guardian accompanying them. We’ll welcome you in and direct you to a safe place to wait for your appointment. We’ll happily bring you anything you need until your appointment, at which time we’ll escort you to the appropriate room.
Before, throughout, and after appointments, we provide exceptional care and flexibility. You may reschedule your appointment at any time for health reasons. We will not permit anyone with fever, flu-like, or COVID-19 symptoms to enter our offices at this time.
