COVID-19 GUIDELINES

As the Coronavirus has become an evolving and uncertain public health issue affecting people globally and close to home, we want to reassure you that nothing is more important than the health, safety and well-being of our patients at OMNI Orthopaedics and OASIS Surgery Center. As a result, if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms or have a fever, we kindly request that you reschedule your appointment.

What to Expect at Your OMNI Appointment

If possible, please check your temperature before you come to your appointment. If you have a fever (temperature of 100.4 or higher), we ask that you call in and reschedule your appointment for at least two weeks out.
We will ask the following questions upon your arrival as part of our staff and patient safety screening process.

Outpatient Screening for COVID-19
