We know and understand that changes can be hard and we appreciate your understanding of these changes. 

Below is a letter from President/Owner Dr. John A. Hudec

Dear Patient,

We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last year, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your health and safety.

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice, and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.

Our offices follow infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up to date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies’ recommendations. You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example: 

• We recommend all patients wear a mask while visiting us.
• Our office will ask some screening questions when you are in the office. 
• We have hand sanitizer in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed. 
• All employees are required to wear a face covering while in a Hudec Dental office. 
• We have added new equipment and materials to improve the safety of our patients and our team.

We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors, and friends.

To make an appointment, please call our office at 216-325-9755 or visit our website.

Sincerely,

Dr. John A. Hudec
