Cleanliness is of the utmost importance to us. In our office we follow the standards set by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Considering that we live on an island we try to reduce our waste and reuse our equipment so long as it is safe to do so.
Prior to using each item we thoroughly disinfect or sterilize it using either chemical disinfectants or an autoclave which kills pathogens through both heat and pressure. Good infection control benefits both patients and our staff alike. If you have any questions about our office procedures please feel free to ask.
