Our Office

Amenities, cleanliness, and sterilization

Enjoy plush waiting room chairs, in front of a large flat panel TV with movies, shows, and music on demand. In the adjacent waiting room, there is a separate children’s play area where kids can watch age appropriate engaging television programs, get access to books and toys, and enjoy quiet reading time in soft bean bag chairs.

Amenities

From the layout of the front lounge, to the organization of the treatment rooms, the experience is meant to be private, and patient-centric. Each patient treatment room has an HD screen for entertainment and patient education purposes. Everything from interior decorative accents to the furniture is selected for your convenience, comfort, and luxury.

Environmentally Conscious Footprint

Our decorative and functional lighting is comprised of compact fluorescent and fluorescent lights, and our X-Ray machines do not produce chemicals which are harmful to the environment. By implementing digital alternatives to systems which produce waste, such as digital X-Rays and a paperless backoffice, we are doing our part to conserve natural resources.

We use compact fluorescent and fluorescent lights in our office to save electricity. The core office processes are all paper-free. We also actively recycle our retiring electronics.

While maintaining strict standards for cleanliness and sterilization, we take every measure to ensure our choices for cleaning solvents and allergen control are the most effective solutions on the market, and also environmentally safe.

Sterilization and Disinfection

Sterilization and Disinfection

Heat stable critical and semi-critical instruments are cleaned and sterilized before use by using steam under pressure (autoclaving), dry heat, or chemical vapor. FDA cleared chemical sterilants/disinfectants are used for sterilization of heat-sensitive critical items and for highlevel disinfection of heat-sensitive semi-critical items.

Sterilization Maintenance

Proper functioning of the sterilization cycle is verified at least weekly through the use of a biological indicator (such as a spore test). Test results are maintained for 12 months.

Facilities

If items or surfaces likely to be contaminated are difficult to clean and disinfect they shall be protected with disposable impervious barriers.

All clinical contact surfaces that are not protected by impervious barriers are cleaned and disinfected using a EPA registered, hospital grade, low- to intermediate-level disinfectant after each patient. The low-level disinfectants used are labeled effective against HBV and HIV.

Disinfectants are used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. All housekeeping surfaces (e.g. floors, walls, sinks) are cleaned with a detergent that is an EPA registered hospital grade disinfectant.

Contaminated solid waste is disposed of according to applicable Rowan County, North Carolina, and Federal Environmental Standards.
