Aloha Smile Hawaii Ohana,
June marks a New World Era as most businesses are slowly re-opening with modifications in how we communicate and interact.
Phase I re-opening for us began May 11, with excellent results.
We provided emergent care for our existing patients requiring necessary treatments. We had 100% cooperation with proper forms being filled out in advance and really catching up on details such as thorough medical histories. Proper PPE protocols were reinforced.
Phase II begins Monday, June 1.
Teal returns to incorporate an abbreviated hygiene schedule for dental cleanings and Gum treatment. Appointment duration times have been extended, so plan accordingly.
Dr Ogata will continue providing emergent care and will begin seeing new patients again.
We humbly ask for your Kokua and patience with us during the next few months as we will be asking for your cooperation in filling out all the necessary forms in advance of your appointment: health history, Covin-19 screening...etc.
The forms will be sent electronically to be filled out conveniently at home.
This is the perfect time to make sure we have all your up to date information so we may continue to provide top level care for you and your Ohana.
Also, we ask for your patience while we “catch up” as we now have a backlog of cancelled and rescheduled hygiene appointments over the las few months.
Phase III will begin Monday, June 15 with Maria’s return to ramp up to Pre-pandemic hygiene scheduling.
Again, your patience and cooperation are greatly appreciated during this time. We appreciate our Smile Hawaii Ohana and plan to continue providing even better care than ever before.
Aloha and a hui hou
Dr. Lance Ogata and our Smile Hawaii team
