Due to COVID-19 restrictions, ENT Associates of Lubbock has enacted the following safety measures:

  • You must wear a mask while in our office. Please bring your own, even if it is homemade.
  • We ask patients to check in by phone and then wait in their vehicle until an exam room is ready.
  • Only one guest is allowed to accompanying a minor, or if needed for translation or mobility assistance.
  • All of our staff wear masks, follow sanitation procedures, and have daily temperature and health screens.
  • We screen every patient at check-in for known COVID exposure, symptoms of illness and fever. We will work with you to reschedule your appointment to telehealth services or to a later date if any of these issues prevents us from seeing you in person.
  • Our exam rooms all have HEPA filtered air purifiers and/or UV lights that clean and disinfect the air in the room every 5 minutes. We also fully sanitize each exam room between patients.
  • We have an Omniaire negative pressure air filtration system unit in our procedure room. This device meets the Centers for Disease Control specifications for a negative pressure Airborne Infection Isolation Room and has 12 complete room air exchanges per hour to remove disease causing microbes like Covid-19.
  • All patients undergo COVID-19 testing prior to in-office and outpatient surgical procedures.
