As a patient visiting our practice we expect the patient to:

  • Let our staff know when you don’t understand the treatment plan or what is expected.
  • Keep appointments as scheduled or contact the practice 2 weeks prior to that appointment to cancel or reschedule.
  • Be responsible for your own actions and the consequences of those actions. If you refuse treatment or do not follow the provider’s instructions, outcomes may be sub-optimal.
  • Abide by any practice or public health and safety policies or regulations, such as not smoking or wearing a mask.
  • Be courteous with the use of your cell phone and other electronic devices. When interacting with the provider, please put your devices away unless agreed upon by you and them.

  • Refusing to follow the provider’s treatment plan or instructions for a high-risk diagnosis.
  • Possessing firearms or any weapon while onsite at our facilities.
