  By: Allison Plasencio  12/01/20 As coronavirus virus has changed our everyday lives, we begin to see nothing is of your typical everyday life. This pandemic has made us change and adapt to what is going on in the world, including a potentially life-threatening virus.   When patients come in to get treatment, there are protocols that they must follow as well. First and foremost, all patients must wear a face mask upon arrival. If you do not come with one, one will be provided to you. Patients are only allowed one visitor or guest with them.
