A message regarding COIVD-19

We are keeping a close eye on COVID-19 developments in the greater Houston area, and encourage you to do the same. To ensure that our patients are able to receive the care they need, Texas Endovascular/Houston Fibroids will remain open and accessible. Because we are not a primary care or hospital environment where sick patients would go for testing or treatment for COVID-19, we feel that the risk of exposure in our office is low. To supplement our rigorous standard precautions for health and safety, please refer to the following guidelines:

• If you are sick, or have come in contact with anyone who is sick, please call to reschedule your appointment.
• If you have a fever, cough, respiratory condition, compromised immune system or any other group at heightened risk, you should avoid contact with others until you have been cleared by your health care provider.
• If you have traveled outside of the country or have been in contact with anyone who has traveled to an area considered high risk by the CDC, you should avoid contact with others until you have been cleared by your health care provider.
• Our offices are routinely disinfected throughout the day.
• All biohazard/soiled waste (including Kleenex and napkins) are disposed of properly.
• Staff practices good personal hygiene, including washing our hands frequently but especially before and after patient interaction, before and after meals, and after using the restroom.
• Hand sanitizer is readily available throughout our offices.

Please refer to the guidelines set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for the most current information. The CDC reminds us to follow best practices, including washing hands often with soap and water, not touching our eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands, avoiding contact with people who are sick, and limiting personal contact, including shaking hands.
