Shields Joel DDS Office

I am apalled that a facility that provides medical services to children would have such lax (nonexistent) mask requirements. There is not one sign asking people to wear masks, people in the waiting room not wearing masks, people inside sitting waiting for retainer fittings not wearing masks. This is a place where children (many too young to be vaccinated) routinely have to sit for 20 to 30 minutes with their mouths unmasked and open. What a complete and total disregard for patient safety. I regret not pulling my daughter completely from Dr Mariani\'s care the first time I noticed such disregard for children\'s health and welfare last March when the waiting room was packed elbow to elbow and masks were not being worn. Today I asked to speak to the office manager who basically told me they could not enforce a policy. This is false it is a private business you can absolutely in force a policy especially if it is going to benefit the health and safety of your patients.
