A response to coronavirus
The virus has undoubtedly disrupted all our lives. Our lives, both at home and at work, have witnessed a level of change we could not have anticipated.
What is crucial is that we take care of ourselves both mentally and physically. That is why have done everything we can to ensure patients can still receive the dedicated care they need for their head and neck issues.
Doctor Shemen has introduced a virtual consultation service which offers you the same type of dedicated conversation that you would receive in-person. The Doctor invests the time and effort required to understand your condition and to prescribe a solution all on a video call.
We have also reformatted our offices in Manhattan and Queens and made them coronavirus-safe. We have introduced a maximum number of patients allowed in the office at once, added hand sanitizers, gloves and masks for those that need, and implemented new procedures with our staff to ensure all patients are safe.
We can’t guarantee that anyone is fully protected from the virus, but we will take every measure we can to protect our patients health and safety.
