At no time in recent memory has the world faced a pandemic event like COVID-19. From the day we opened our doors for business Weil Foot & Ankle Institute has been committed to providing a safe and healthy care environment for our patients and team members. We have worked tirelessly for weeks to provide safe care options for our patients whether they choose to attend an in-person appointment or a virtual, Telehealth visit from the comfort of their home.
Enhanced and Increased Disinfection Efforts
In addition to our customary efforts to clean and disinfect common and patient treatment areas we have increased the frequency with which we wipe down surfaces to help prevent slow down the spread of the virus. We follow the sanitation guidelines set forth by OSHA to protect the health and safety of our patients, physician, staff, and the community at large.
Screening Phone Calls
One practice that we have enacted to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 is a pre-appointment health screening. Prior to in-person appointments our scheduling team makes outbound calls to assess the health of patients and any person who may be attending their appointment.
Face Coverings
Everyone who enters any of our locations must wear a mask or face covering (covering the nose and mouth) in accordance with recommendations from the CDC. Patients are reminded of this requirement during their pre-appointment screening phone call. Masks are always also required of all Weil Foot & Ankle physician and employees when in practice locations.
Retail Delivery
Footcare Depot proudly offers curbside and mail delivery (for a nominal fee) of products ordered from our store. Patients can choose curbside delivery at the Mount Prospect location as well as wherever they regular see their physician.
Telehealth Virtual Appointments
Weil Foot & Ankle offers online appointments with physicians at all our locations. Additionally, we also offer physical therapy virtually. If you would like to schedule a Telehealth appointment with one of our providers please call 847-257-8614
