Coronavirus policy at first peek ultrasound

---

The State of Illinois is in Phase 4 of reopening.

We have reviewed all the policies we currently have in place. For the sake of the safety of our staff and customers, we are continuing all our current safety protocols. 

We still require a maximum of one other guest with you during your ultrasound session.

We are still not permitting children under the age of 10 in our facility.

No food and drink are allowed in the facility.

Online scheduling is still not available to allow for adequate spacing of appointments.

We have started our prenatal massage therapy services, in accordance with Phase 4 reopening guidelines, and we will be taking our first appointments starting Saturday, July 4.

We have opened our doors on a limited basis, and we are adhering to strict safety measures.

Please call us to schedule your appointment. Online scheduling is not yet available so that we can ensure that appointments are spaced out and there are a limited number of people in our facility.

Keep in mind that you may see safety measures that may differ from retail stores, restaurants, or your doctor's office, as this is an elective ultrasound studio which inherently will require some close contact with our customers. At the same time, we are not a medical health facility where there are expected to be many sick patients. Our customers are screened and ensured to be healthy before their visit.

Among our safety measures include:

• All customers are screened by phone and by survey upon entering the facility regarding travel history, fever, and other symptoms. 
• All customers will have their temperature checked upon entering the facility.
• All customers will be asked to wear a face mask and use hand sanitizer upon entering the facility.
• We are limiting all appointments to the customer and one other person.
• Although we understand that children benefit immensely from seeing their younger brother and sister on 3D ultrasound, during this extraordinary time, we are not permitting children under the age of 10 in the facility.
• No food and drink allowed in the facility
• If you are arriving late or you are a walk-in and there is another family in the facility, we will check you in and then ask that you wait in the car until we are ready to take you in.
• We are making appointments by phone only to allow for 15 minute gaps between each appointment to allow our staff to thoroughly clean the facility between each customer visit.

Please also keep in mind that we are also screening the staff and the ultrasound technician at the beginning of each day. If your technician is sick or has a fever, it is possible that the appointments that day may need to be rescheduled. We anticipate that this would be a rare occurrence and we ask for your patience if this happens. This is of course for the safety of all our customers.

Please call us to schedule your appointment so that we can ensure the best timing of your appointment. We are available by telephone from 8am to 9pm on weekdays and 8am to 5pm on weekends. 

If you are unable to call us for any reason, you can email us with a phone number and we can call you back.

Outside of business hours, the best way to reach us is through email at firstpeek@oakparkultrasound.com

If you would like to be notified of any changes in our policy or when we start allowing more family members or starting prenatal massage, please email us at firstpeek@oakparkultrasound.com

Thank you for your patience during this difficult time!
