Masking Policy
In response to the everchanging CDC guidelines regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, Austin Plastic Surgery Institute will be following the guidelines cited by the Texas Medical Board which are to follow the state and federal mandates. Texas Governor Abbott lifted the state mask mandate March 10th, 2021. The CDC has noted that fully vaccinated people may return to normal activities without masking or social distancing and non-vaccinated people should adhere to the minimum safe-practice standards which includes masking and social distancing.
This Office Requires All Patients & Staff To Wear A Face Covering Due to Additional COVID Variants in the area.
We reserve the right to change this policy, as necessary.
