Protecting the health of our patients and staff is our first priority.

At Atlantic NeuroSurgical Specialists (ANS) and Altair Health, the health of our patients and staff is always our first priority.

We understand this is a difficult time, especially if you need medical attention that may not be deemed urgent in the face of the growing coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. While we are committed to supporting our fellow physicians and healthcare professionals treating COVID-19 patients on the front lines, we also remain committed to providing the industry-leading brain, spine and neurovascular care that the region has relied on us to provide for more than 60 years.

To deliver on this commitment, abide by the guidance issued by Governor Phil Murphy and protect the health and well-being of all of our patients and staff, we are:

Offering a new telemedicine program.

Our telemedicine program allows both new and existing patients to connect with our team of top brain, spine and neurovascular experts from the comfort of their own homes. This includes our team of:

  • Neurosurgeons
  • Pain management specialists
  • Physiatrists
  • Physical therapists
  • Wellness specialists

While telemedicine is available to all patients, we strongly recommend it for patients who are at greater risk for COVID-19, unless they have a severe neurological deficit or intractable pain. High-risk patients include:

  • Patients who are 70+ years old
  • Patients who are 60+ years old and have conditions such as COPD, diabetes, hypertension, pre-existing respiratory disease, asthma, etc.

Keeping our offices open.

We are seeing patients in all of our offices – and we’re safeguarding everyone’s health and safety by:

  • Adjusting appointment times to limit the number of people in the office at any given time.
  • Taking every staff member’s temperature at the start of office hours.
  • Doing pre-visit COVID-19 screening of all patients.
  • Taking all office visitors’ temperatures when they arrive at the office.
  • Requiring facial coverings for all staff and visitors.
  • Ensuring social distancing is maintained in our waiting rooms and clinical areas:
    • Patients are asked to come in alone – or if assistance is needed – to bring only one caregiver.
    • Waiting rooms have pre-measured seating.
    • A maximum capacity for each space is being enforced.
    • Tape markings indicate proper distancing for patients and staff.
    • Plexiglas shields are in place at all patient-facing workstations.
  • Properly sanitizing the office including all workstations, surfaces and restrooms.
