At Dermatology Associates of Virginia, we are committed to providing excellent care while prioritizing the health of our patients and staff. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our communities as well as the rest of the world, our team has been taking the necessary precautions to ensure our offices are properly sanitized and safe as possible for everyone.

We are following CDC guidelines and protocols to ensure the safety of our patients and staff. We ask that all patients wear a face mask to their appointment so as to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. If you do not have a mask, we will supply one for your use.

We ask that any patient who is experiencing fevers, cough, or other symptoms of an infection, to please reschedule upcoming appointments until a time when you have fully recovered.

If you are healthy and prefer to reschedule an upcoming appointment, we are happy to do so. There will be no charge for any changed or missed appointments at this time.

Below, you can read more about what to expect for your appointment as well as the steps we’re taking to ensure our patients and associates remain safe and in good health during this time.

What to expect when you arrive for your appointment:

• Please arrive at our office wearing a face mask. If you don’t have a mask, one will be given to you. We ask that you wear the mask during the entirety of your visit.
• Unless the patient is a minor or an adult who requires assistance, we ask that all non-patient visitors remain at home or in their car while the patient is being seen.
• Patients will be screened before entering to our offices. A staff member will greet you outside our waiting room. You will be asked CDC screening questions and have your temperature taken using a laser thermometer.
• In order to promote social distancing, we will attempt to keep your time in our waiting room to a minimum.
• Should you need to wait in our waiting room for a short period of time, we ask that you social distance from other patients.  Our furniture has been set up to keep patients at least 6 feet apart.
• You will be taken to an exam room as soon as one is available. We appreciate your patience as you may be waiting in isolation longer than normal.
• Where possible, doors are propped open to keep touching of door handles to a minimum.
• Exam rooms are disinfected between each patient encounter.
• During your visit, our employees and providers will be wearing appropriate PPE.

Keeping our Staff Safe:

• Before entering our offices for the day, employees are asked CDC screening questions as well as have their temperatures taken.
• We require employees who are sick (or caring for a sick person in their domicile) to remain at home until they pass CDC return-to-work guidelines.
• Employees are required to wear masks and appropriate PPE.
• Social distancing is adhered to in our breakrooms as well as during staff lunch.
