COVID-19

 

If you are having a procedure at our center, please follow this protocol:

  1. If you are scheduled for a procedure at the center, you will receive a preoperative call letting you know what day and time frame to go to the center to complete your COVID-19 test.  This test is mandatory and must be completed before your scheduled procedure. 

  2. Once you have arrived in the parking lot on your scheduled testing day/time, please call 805-241-0151 and let the patient care coordinator you are scheduled for your COVID-19 test.

  3. A staff member will meet you in the parking lot to complete your COVID-19 screening and rapid testing.   

  4. The following questionnaire will be completed: SAX COVID Questionnaire

  5. A nasal swab will be placed in your nose.  This is the COVID-19 test.  The test takes about 15 minutes to analyze. Please remain in your vehicle during this time.

  6. If you tests positive for COVID-19, your procedure will be rescheduled. Your physician/surgeon will be notified and they will contact you with rescheduling details.

  7. If your test is negative, you will be able to enter the building and complete the rest of the preoperative process.

Please note: for all cash pay procedures, the COVID-19 Test is offered at $125.
