OFFICE UPDATE
To our wonderful patients:
Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.
Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it's both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.
Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies' recommendations.
You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff.

For example:
- Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. You'll be asked those same questions again when you are in the office. These questions are important and must be completed. You can access the form here(Please note: refusal of form completion may result in refusal of treatment)
- Upon arrival, we will be reviewing the screening form and taking temperatures
- We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also find some in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed
- Please keep personal items; ie. purses, bags, cell phones to a minimum (We will ask you to place your cell phone inside of a sealed plastic bag upon arrival, and purse inside of a plastic tote)
- You may see that our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, children's toys or refreshments, since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect
- Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean that you're offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment
- We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time. If you have a mask you are welcome to wait in the lobby, otherwise you have the option to wait in your car until your appointment time (once you have been checked-in)
- Due to the additional amount of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) & additional sterilization protocols mandated to us by the State of Ohio and the ADA, there will be a $20 sterilization co-pay for appointments
We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at 937.236.2800 or complete the contact form below.
Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kondas & Team
