COVID-19 Safety Protocol

Long Island Plastic Surgical Group and New York Plastic Surgical have restored hours in all locations with enhanced safety precautions. We have re-opened our operating suites in Garden City and New York City. Deep Blue Med Spa has resumed all services.
Will I Be Safe If I Need Care?
As leaders in healthcare, LIPSG physicians and staff are highly trained in how to protect our patients, families, and each other when providing care.
We’re Here For You
While we are putting extensive safety measures in place, we understand that some patients will prefer to delay treatment or conduct a video visit. For these patients, we will continue to offer remote care options. You can easily book a virtual appointment with our physicians by clicking here. As always, we remain available to our patients 24/7 through our 877-DR-STITCH service for the immediate and urgent treatment of lacerations, burns, complex wounds, facial trauma, and hand injuries.
Preparing For Your Visit
We have taken extra steps to provide you the health care services you need in a safe environment. In this new reality, you’ll notice some changes in each of our locations:
- Social distancing techniques that include fewer patients and providers in the offices
- Protective barriers at reception desks and one-way traffic throughout the office
- All staff to wear personal protective equipment at all times
- Assessing patients for COVID-19 risks prior to coming into the office
- Temperature checks of all patients
- Monitoring any employee and /or patient COVID-19 cases or exposure
- Sanitation and disinfection of common and high-traffic areas
We regularly monitor the latest guidance from the CDC and evolve our policies and procedures to protect our team and serve you.
Upon Your Arrival
All patients and visitors are being screened by questionnaire for COVID-19 symptoms, including fever, upon entrance to all LIPSG facilities. Everyone is required to wear a face mask. Cloth masks are acceptable. We can provide a level 1 surgical mask if needed. A mask must be worn at all times while in the building.
Visitor Policy
No patient guests are permitted at this time – excluding a parent or required assistance if necessary. Patients/visitors will only be permitted to go directly to the floor of their provider. They are not allowed to visit any other location within the facility.
