Your Health and Safety
Medical Massage Associates’ Mission from day one has been “Excellent Patient Outcome.” To ensure this result we incorporated the medical profession’s motto of first do no harm.
As such we have followed the sanitation steps shared here for YEARS. The only modification we made when COVID-19 arrived was to add sanitizing the pen, clipboard, and charge card terminal.
Also YEARS ago we selected a hospital grade sanitizer. The higher cost is a small price to pay for our patients’ safety. Please note that the tech sheet from the manufacturer specifically notes coronavirus on the list of dozens of organisms it eliminates.
We believe you are safer in our office than most people’s homes; certainly safer than most public locations.
