COVID-19 UPDATE Castellon Plastic Surgery Melbourne, FL

Dear patients, vendors and staff,

As you know, safety is always the number one priority at Castellon Plastic Surgery Center - both for you and for my team. I care about each one of you, and in this spirit, I am taking the following precautions effective immediately to do my part to prevent the spread of COVID-19:

• We are using a HIPPA-compliant system to allow us to see patients remotely via telemedicine whenever possible. We will still see patients in the office, but only if they are wearing masks.
• We are cutting back in-office visits (including all clinic and operative patients) whenever possible, and using virtual visits instead.
• Any patient, provider or vendor entering our building must first pass a screening questionnaire and temperature check.
• Once inside, mask-wearing is required. By everyone. At all times. No exceptions. (Over the mouth AND NOSE!) That includes clinical providers in close quarters.
• We have already begun additional cleaning protocols, including wiping down surfaces and terminals frequently.
• No visitors will be allowed inside the building. In the case of patients who need someone to give them a ride following surgery, they will be given surgical instructions in another location.

I know this has been a difficult and stressful period for everyone, and I promise not to add to that stress level in any way that isn’t medically necessary. I believe these steps are medically necessary, and it is my responsibility as a medical professional to keep you safe.

Thank you in advance to all my wonderful patients and staff for abiding by these rules. I look forward to seeing you again - and admiring all your wonderful masks!

-- Dr. Castellon and the Castellon Plastic Surgery Center Team
