The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) training establishes data privacy and security protocols to protect medical information of patients in the office. The OSHA sponsored Bloodborne Pathogens training equips the practice with the knowledge on how to prevent the transmission of, or exposure to, blood or other potentially infectious matter such as Hepatitis or HIV.

Dr. Patrick Cieplak requires that his entire team, including the dentists, dental assistants, and office staff, complete this training annually in order to provide patients with the highest level of safety, privacy and care. Practice Administrator, Sharon Garner, recently completed training to become a Certified Dental OSHA Specialist and is excited to lead the practice in this training next year.

This respect for training and technology overflows in the level of care provided at Cieplak Dental Excellence.
