COVID-19 Information

During the current COVID-19 pandemic our utmost priority is the health of our patients, staff, and community. After evaluating the most current information and reviewing published guidelines, we remain confident in our ability to provide dermatological care in a safe and healthy environment at Highlander Dermatology. 

We recommend any patient stay home if they are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. 

We want to limit contact and reduce person-to-person exposure in our community, to our patients and to our staff. If you are feeling ill, have a fever, cough, or shortness of breath, we kindly ask that you call our office and reschedule your appointment. 

If you have an appointment and are feeling healthy, we plan to continue to stay open and see patients as long as guidelines and recommendations permit us to do so. We are closely monitoring updates from the Centers for Disease Control and WHO and will continue to seek guidance from these agencies and local public health officials. With new information, we will make the necessary adjustments to our operations and will keep you informed of any changes. 

We will continue to maintain a clean and safe environment and continue to comply with OSHA and CDC infection control guidelines. We have standard protocols in place to disinfect all surfaces and patient contact areas. We have expanded and increased the frequency of cleaning and disinfection of all common areas and facilities. Each patient room will be thoroughly disinfected after each patient.   Each patient will be screened prior to their visit.

For more information, questions or to reschedule an appointment, please call our office at (262) 290-4540. 

Sincerely,

Drs. Straka and Kleven

In order to keep our patients, providers, and staff safe, Highlander Dermatology is continuing to take protective measures against the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus). These measures follow guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

At this time, we have implemented a no visitor policy effective immediately. 

The decision outlined in this letter was extremely difficult to make, but one we felt was necessary as part of our commitment to keeping our patients, staff, and providers safe during the extraordinary circumstances presented by COVID-19.

Visitors may be allowed in Highlander Dermatology’s clinic only under the following circumstances:

• One (1) parent/guardian may accompany pediatric patients (under age 18)
• One (1) care partner for patients with a disability (ADA) or those who need assistance due to medical necessity

We understand patients may need to be driven to their appointments. We are asking that drivers wait in the car during the patient’s appointment, or return to pick them up later.

The waiting room is reserved exclusively for patients. All other individuals will be asked to wait in the building’s atrium or in their vehicles during the patient’s appointment. 

Masks are still required for the protection of yourself and those around you.

If you have an upcoming appointment with us and are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms such as cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, or fever, please call our office to reschedule your appointment so as not to risk exposure to others.

We are deeply grateful for your patience and support in keeping our patients, providers, and other staff safe. If you have questions please call in advance of your appointment and we’ll be happy to answer your questions.
