Dear Patients:
In light of recent developments regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19), and for the safety of our patients, team members, and their families, we have decided to TEMPORARILY CLOSE THE OFFICE FOR THE NEXT 2 WEEKS, STARTING THIS MONDAY 23RD OF MARCH UNTIL SUNDAY APRIL 5TH.
Please call our office at (214) 692-5688 if you need extra elastics, wax, or need to have a wire clipped, or pick up extra aligners, etc. We can also arrange shipping via UPS if needed. We are currently calling all those patients affected in the next 2 weeks.
We will be answering our phones and checking our messages from home, so please feel free to call the office line during the next 2 weeks if needed. We hope you all understand that we all can make a difference by socially distancing ourselves during this very crucial time. Please be safe and healthy. We are praying for a swift recovery phase for our country and the world.
Sincerely,
Your team at Walnut Central Orthodontics
