Keeping you safe
Your safety is important to us. We’ve updated our protocols to keep you and our staff safe. Please:
- Do not come in for an appointment if you are feeling ill or suspect you were exposed to COVID-19. Reschedule your appointment for a later date.
- Masks are optional for fully vaccinated customers. Customers who are not fully vaccinated must wear a mask.
- Sanitize your hands when you arrive at the office.
- Practice social distancing and wait for instructions before approaching the counter.
- Let us know when you make an appointment if you need to bring a translator, caregiver, or dependent. You may not bring any other guests.
Thank you for your patience during these difficult times. Our added measures come from guidance from the Governor’s Office, Labor and Industries, and Department of Health.
