I’m Not Afraid of You

I saw something today on social that literally stopped me in my tracks.It said, “I’m not afraid of you.”It hit me like a ton of bricks! I’m not embarrassed to admit it, I cried on the spot.I’m not afraid of you.

I love people.

Love adjusting patients.

Love NUCCA.

Helping people is what I love the most.

I love hugs.

Lastly, I enjoy catching up with my neighbors on the same side of the street.I can’t tell you how many times patients told me this past week, that they were so grateful that we are still open. Many patients hadn’t been anywhere else all week. Some patients told us our office is a safe haven for them. That they couldn’t wait to come in.

We continue to see patients with big changes in place.In conclusion, during this time of crisis, we have committed to being here for our patients.Although, if you prefer to wait until the dust settles, we understand and support you.In addition to our increased sanitation and disinfection protocols noted in prior communications (and also noted below), we are pre-screening all patients at every visit.

Here are our pre-screening questions:

1. Have you traveled outside of the U.S. in the past 2 weeks?2. Have you had sudden onset of fever, cough or shortness of breath?3. Have you been tested for COVID-19?4. Have you been in direct contact with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19?Any YES answers…we request that you self-isolate for 2 weeks meanwhile, and contact our office to re-schedule your appointment. At this time, it’s the best we can do to help keep everyone safe.**All NO answers…you’re permitted to leave your home for the purpose of receiving healthcare services. However, your text/email appointment reminder should suffice as proof that you have a healthcare appointment. If you do not receive reminders from us, please let us know right away.
