Dear Patient:
After more than two months of emergency only visits, starting on June 1 we are scheduling elective procedures for new and existing patients.
We are still monitoring the COVID-19 situation in the county on a daily basis; there are still new cases reported in the range of two to three percent per day. Until there will be no new cases reported, we are going to continue with the current measures for the safety of our patients and staff.
We are following the below guidelines to ensure that everybody is safe:
- Every patient is screened for COVID-19 symptoms before being scheduled
- During the check-in every patient's temperature is taken using a no-touch thermometer
- Everybody must wear a mask and sanitize their hands upon entry; we also offer gloves
- Patients are placed in private waiting rooms and private operatories with walls and doors
- Our staff use protective personal equipment
- There are increased standards of office cleaning and disinfection to limit employee and patient exposure to COVID-19
Thank you for being a loyal patient. Please know that we will continue to listen to your feedback and continue to make the best decisions we can for everyone’s wellbeing.
Be Well

Dear Patient:
Being an ‘Essential Business’, we have been open to see only patients with emergency or urgent care needs since March 16th. We will continue to be open for emergencies and urgent care.
We are following the below guidelines to ensure that everybody is safe:
- Patients are placed in private waiting rooms and private operatories
- Our staff use protective personal equipment
- We have masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer for patients to use
- Every patient is screened for COVID-19 symptoms before being scheduled
- Increased standards of office cleaning and disinfection to limit employee and patient exposure to COVID-19
We are closely monitoring the COVID-19 cases in Kenosha County and planning the strategy to reopen for non-emergency procedures. The trigger point might be a marginal growth of new cases in Kenosha County in 3 consecutive days.
At this point, we are putting patients who wish to come in for non-emergency visits on the waiting list. Once we reopen for elective procedures, we will contact these people to schedule an appointment.
Be Well

Dear Patient:
As we navigate through this difficult time period together, we ask each of you for your continued understanding and patience. On March 24th, Governor Tony Evers issued the “Safer at Home” order, which prohibits all nonessential travel until April 24th. To see the order, please click here
As your healthcare provider, we will remain open to provide emergency and urgent dental care to you. Below are some examples of symptoms falling in these categories:
- Pain
- Swelling
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Broken tooth causing discomfort
- Abscess
All elective appointments will be rescheduled after April 24th. At that time, the COVID-19 pandemic situation will be reevaluated by the federal and state authorities.
We look forward to continuing to serve you, and we always want you to know that your health and safety is our top priority.
Be Well

Dear Patient:
This is without a doubt a very challenging time for everybody. Our top priority is your health and wellbeing and to no lesser extent that of our community. We have been closely tracking the developments related to coronavirus (COVID-19), and we take this issue very seriously. We are following updates from the Centers for Disease Control, the American Dental Association, and local health officials.
Here at Kenosha Dentist, our purpose is building trust one patient at a time, and this applies now more than ever. After lengthy discussions, we have decided to align with the American Dental Association's recommendation to postpone elective procedures for the next three weeks and only see emergency patients for the time being. We will reevaluate the situation after April 3rd. We are implementing the following measures for your safety and to make your experience in our office exceptional even during this difficult time:
- All patients will be offered a mask and gloves upon check in
- Hand sanitizer with 70% alcohol is available
- Patients will be offered a private waiting room to be separated from other patients
- All staff will be wearing a mask, gloves, and sanitizing hands between patients
- Office furniture, doors, bathrooms and counters are sanitized daily throughout the day
- Carpets are shampooed weekly
- Please maintain social distancing from each other for at least 6 feet
- If you have any flu or cold like symptoms or have traveled abroad in the last 4 weeks, we will kindly ask you to reschedule your visit
Thank you for being a loyal patient. Please know that we will continue to listen to your feedback and continue to make the best decisions we can for everyone’s wellbeing. We want you to remain confident and know that your health is a priority in everything we do.
Be Well
