COVID-19 New Safety Measures

We thank you for your understanding in advance as we try to adjust to the new normal and learn how to navigate in this new COVID era. We will continue to update information contained on this page as COVID-19 situation evolves, so please check back on our website regularly.

Please take note of our new COVID-19 protocol which will be implemented effective immediately in order to keep our patients, our staff, and our community safe and healthy:

1. We will ask you COVID-19 screening questions when you call to schedule appointment AND when you arrive at our office.

2. Please wait in your vehicle and give us a call at (410) 997-5699 when you arrive. We will have you enter our office when we determine that it is safe to do so (in order to minimize your direct encounter with another patient, if present).

3. There will be limited seating in the reception area. Only patient is allowed to enter our office during the duration of patient's appointment, unless patient is a minor or has disability which requires companion. All others will be asked to remain in their vehicle.

4. We ask that you wear mask and keep it on when you enter our office. We will ask you to remove your mask only as applicable in the treatment area.

5. We will take your temperature and ask you screening questions at each and every visit before being escorted to the treatment area.

6. There will be a plexiglass on the reception area countertop (in order to limit possible exposure).

7. Please sanitize your hands using our alcohol-based sanitizer provided for you immediately upon arrival.

8. Please bring your own pen to complete and sign any paper work (in order to limit cross-contamination).

9. We will ask you to sign our COVID-19 consent forms in addition to our regular consent forms.

Please take note of the following additional measures which we are taking to keep you safe:

1. We will limit the number of appointments which can be safely scheduled.

2. We will screen all our staff for COVID-19 symptoms and take temperatures daily.

3. All our staff will be wearing masks and practicing social distancing among ourselves at all times. In particular, our clinical staff will be wearing N95 mask (or equivalent), face shield, gown, and gloves during treatment.

4. As always, we follow all CDC protocols, ADA recommendations, and OSHA guidelines in the utmost, strictest manner possible regarding personal protective equipment (PPE) protocols and infection control.

5. Common areas, surfaces, and treatment rooms are frequently disinfected throughout the day.

Thank you, and we look forward to being of service to you!

Sincerely,

Dr. Christopher Yoo & GRACE Dental Clinic Team

Testimonials

In one word 'outstanding'. I have had dental services from Cambridge, Mass to Dallas, Texas in my life but I have never ever come across such a truly outstanding practice. Dr. Christopher Yoo, and his father Dr. Yoo Senior, are both outstanding professionals. They have created, trained, and nurtured an outstanding staff from the reception desk all the way to the operatories. I will have to use my calculator to count the number of times Dr. Yoo uses gentle and comforting words like "sir", "please", "thank you", "appreciate it", etc. When I am in the operatory, I have the honor and pleasure of being in a very refined and multitalented company of Dr. Yoo, who takes the time to explain and teach all aspects of his treatment and empower the patient to follow up and take care of their dental hygiene. I want to specially mention appreciation by Dr. Yoo's peers. My friend Dr. Kevin G. Murphy, Baltimore, who is a well regarded periodontal-prosthodontic practitioner thinks very highly of Dr. Yoo and he personally recommended that my wife and me to be under Dr. Yoo's general dentistry practice and care. Please convey this review and my thanks to Dr. Yoo and his staff.

This was my first visit to Dr. Yoo's clinic and I was very impressed with all aspects of the practice. When I called to make an appointment, I was scheduled for the very next day. The receptionist was gracious and very polite, both on the phone while making my appointment and when I arrived at the clinic. The person who referred me to Dr. Yoo had told me many things about the practice, so although I wasn't surprised, I was very impressed with the high-tech environment and the way it was used to make me both better informed and very comfortable during my initial examination and cleaning. Especially interesting was the digital imaging of my teeth and the camera tool that provided a real-time image of my individual teeth. All of these images were present on a screen that I could view while in the chair. Dr. Yoo was very personal, patient, and supportive, and took time to carefully explain his findings and recommendations. I highly recommend Dr. Yoo and his staff and look forward (really!) to my next visit.
