Dear Valued Patient, 

I hope this letter finds you and your family healthy and safe. I know this has been a difficult time for so many of our patients, but I want you to know that my team and I have been working hard to welcome you back to our practice. As you may or may not know Governor Hogan has re-opened the dental practices in Maryland that are compliant with the enhanced standards for patient care. Effective May 7, 2020, we are fully open for all services and we’re excited to welcome you back for all your dental needs. 

In anticipation of welcoming you back, I want you to know that the universal precautions recommended by the CDC during this COVID-19 crisis are the same precautions we’ve always taken when treating all of our patients. We’ve added some additional safety measures for our patients and team members. Some of the proactive enhancements you’ll see when returning to the office are: 

• We’ll be conducting wellness checks on all of our patients and staff on a daily basis. 
• We’re asking that you arrive a few minutes early for appointments. 
• When you arrive please call us at the office (410) 486-3898 so we can come out and check you in. 
• We’re asking all patients to wear masks and use hand-sanitizer when entering the office. 
• The reception area has been rearranged to allow for more separation. 
• We’re scheduling appointments further apart to decrease exposure risk and promote social distancing. 
• All of our team members will be wearing additional Protective Equipment during the work day. 
• To ensure your safety we have purchased bounds of extra PPE and as a result, we now have a year per patient/per family "Patient Protection Fee.

I know that this pandemic has affected a lot of our patients with the loss of income and employment. If your dental insurance has been terminated or finances are an issue, please contact the office. We may be able to set up an in-house dental savings plan for you and your family. We are here to help in any way we can! 

My team and I are committed to making dentistry safe for all patients and giving everyone the piece- of-mind they need to continue with maintaining their oral healthcare. We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we’ve taken to keep you, and every patient, in our practice safe. Please reach out to schedule your next appointment at (410) 486-3898. 

Sincerely, Elliot Einbinder, D.D.S.
