During these uncertain times, we are all unsure of what we are and are not able to do anymore. With many restaurants and stores closing their doors for business, we wanted to reassure you of our policies during this challenging period. Drs. Morrissey and Wilcox decided to answer some of your most frequently asked questions about how our practice is operating during the COVID-19 lockdown.
Can I Get a Plastic Surgery Consultation During the COVID-19 Lockdown?
Yes, you can absolutely get a plastic surgery consultation during the COVID-19 lockdown. The best part is you won’t even have to leave the comfort and safety of your own home. Thanks to advances in digital technology, Drs. Wilcox and Morrissey are now able to do virtual consultations using video platforms like FaceTime and Skype. These video consultations are 100 percent HIPAA-compliant and allow you to get all the information you need about your procedure of interest without having to fight traffic, put on a face mask or worrying about sanitizing your hands. Simply request a virtual consultation online and wait to hear back from one of our staff members.
Can I Get Plastic Surgery During the COVID-19 Lockdown?
As of April 22, 2020, we are able to perform any elective cosmetic procedures. That being said, now is the perfect time for you to learn more about your procedure of interest and get prepared for your treatment. Do some research about which dermal fillers and injectables are right for your skin concerns, look up some of the benefits and procedures are done during gynecomastia surgery and explore which areas of the body you could benefit most from liposuction. Don’t forget to schedule your virtual consultation now that you have the time. Getting informed is your first step to receiving plastic surgery.
Is Your Office Still Open?
Yes, our office has re- opened. We are currently seeing patient’s Monday -Friday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. There are some guidelines to follow if you coming into the office.
