<aside> ⭐ Personal Note from Dr. Antony: We will do what it takes to keep you safe. Our procedure suite has always maintained an excellent standard of care in alignment with AAAHC standards and protocols. This includes retaining ASC-specific cleaning and laundry services, as well as applying rigorous standards to personnel and their training. In conjunction with practices recommended by the professional societies we follow, we have adhered to the social distancing and PPE measures recommended for our facility. We will continue to monitor the situation to determine if there are any further precautions we can mandate over time.
