To the Oasis Family:

In order to protect the well-being of our patients and team members, Dr. Knoefel has cancelled his trip out of the country and has remained in Edmonton.

Furthermore, he has made the decision to keep the practice closed from March 16-March 27 inclusive, as planned, except for the four mornings (Tuesday, March 17, Friday, March 20, Tuesday, March 24 and Friday, March 27) that had been previously reserved for special visits.

With the situation in our city, province and country in a constant state of flux, we are closely following the recommendations of the Alberta Dental Association and College in terms of infection control.

We will therefore continue to take every precaution to sanitize and disinfect our office constantly, especially during these challenging times.

We also want to reassure you that we are all healthy.

We have no intention at this time of cancelling or rescheduling any patients who are currently booked from March 30 onwards, to ensure the continuity of care.

Should this situation change, all affected patients and families will be contacted directly and immediately.

These are challenging times, indeed. Let us come together as a community and continue to be there for each other. We will get through this!

Dr. Mark Knoefel and The Oasis Team
