To all our Valued Patients:

At Rachel Cole DDS PC, we remain committed to doing our part in minimizing the spread of COVID-19. As healthcare professionals, we continue to follow well-researched, scientific public health advice to help limit infections and slow the spread of COVID-19.

We’re excited to announce that Oregon’s Emergency-Only order has been lifted and we will begin seeing patients again on May 11th!

Rest assured, your safety and the safety of our dental team, is a top priority. We will continue to follow all CDC, ADA, and State specific recommendations regarding Personal Protective Equipment and the sterilization of instruments, surfaces, and work spaces to protect our patients and staff members. We are also taking extended measures to further protect all our patients and team with the following protocols:

• Pre-screening patients as we confirm appointments and prior to entering the building
• Just as you will be screened, our entire staff is screened daily upon entry to the office
• Social distancing – by asking you to remain in your car until we call you when we are ready for your appointment, and minimize any guests or escorts to your appointment unless absolutely necessary
• Upon entering the office, you will be asked to wear a mask and sanitize your hands. If you do not have a mask, we will provide you with one
• At the beginning of your appointment, you will be asked to pre-rinse with an anti-viral rinse
• We have installed an Air Filtration unit in the duct work of our HVAC system -We will be installing medical grade air-purifiers in every operatory and reception area

If you had an appointment scheduled during our closure, we will be reaching out to you to get your appointment rescheduled. If we’ve already rescheduled your appointment, we’ll be reaching out to confirm your appointment and advise you of some new protocols we’ve put in place to ensure you and our dental team are protected. We encourage everyone in our community to continue to take steps to minimize the spread of the virus, as dictated by the CDC.

If you have a question about an upcoming appointment, please contact us at (503) 248-1114. We look forward to seeing you again!
