Guidelines to Protect Patients (last updated 12/20/2021)

Patient safety is our top priority, and we are committed to delivering safe, high-quality care to patients.

Patient and Visitor Guidelines:

• In certain instances, patients may be tested for COVID-19 up to five days prior to their scheduled procedure. Patients will be notified in advance if a COVID-19 test is needed prior to their procedure.
• Patients and family members must wear a face mask or face cover.
• All patients and visitors are screened upon entry to all Kelsey-Seybold locations. This includes having their temperature checked and answering a few COVID-19 exposure and symptom related questions.
• Patients are asked to have only one family member or friend accompany them to their procedure.
• Patients should limit the number of personal items brought into the clinic.
• Practice social distancing of 6’ or more from other patients and families.
