What are we doing to make sure our patients and staff are safe

Screening Guidelines

  • If you have a scheduled appointment and are experiencing a fever, new shortness of breath, new cough or any flu-like symptoms, please call 609-568-9182 for further evaluation prior to your appointment.
  • If you have no symptoms but have had close contact with someone suspected or known to have Coronavirus over the past 14 days, please contact your healthcare provider prior to scheduling your appointment.
  • AMI will not perform procedures on patients known or suspected to have COVID-19.

Installation of Sneeze Guards

We have installed sneeze guards at the front desk stations in each office to help maintain social distance and physical separation during the registration process.

Face covering or mask to protect yourself and others

Please be aware that our staff will be wearing masks and we ask that you wear a face covering or mask as well. If you do not have a face covering or mask, we will provide one to you. For a demonstration on how to create your own face covering, please click here.

Enhanced cleaning processes

Extra time and care is being taken between patients to ensure the cleanliness of all equipment and frequently touched surfaces. We are cleaning all surfaces and equipment with an EPA approved disinfectant.

Hand hygiene protocol

Our staff continues to adhere to our hand hygiene protocol. We encourage you to wash/sanitize your hands before and after checking into your appointment. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer is available throughout all offices.

Flexible waiting room options

We encourage you to practice social distancing, when possible. Patients have the option to check in at the front desk and then wait in their vehicle to be contacted when it’s time for their appointment. We have removed chairs at some locations to minimize overcrowding.

Visitor Policy

We ask all visitors accompanying patients to wait in their vehicle. If a visitor needs to accompany you into the office, there will be a limit of one visitor.

Everyday healthy actions for you and your family

  • Stay at home, except to get essentials
  • Keep your distance -- stay at least six feet away from others
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
  • Use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care.
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we take these extra precautions to provide the safest environment possible for our patients and staff.
