Achieving a Strong Patient-Provider Team Partnership
We value the relationships we build with our patients. Building this partnership between you and your provider team begins with mutual trust and respect.
You can expect us to:
- treat you with courtesy and respect, both in the office and on the phone
- respect your personal, religious, and cultural beliefs
- protect your privacy and ensure your dignity
- respect your individual needs and wishes and meet them as much as we reasonably can
- work together as a team to create the best treatment plan for you
- make every effort to meet your needs in a timely way, while following our policies and procedures
We expect you to:
- treat all staff and visitors with courtesy and respect, both in the office and on the phone
- keep your voice low enough that only the person you are speaking with can hear. This also keeps your protected health information private
- do your best to follow the treatment plan that you and your health care team have created
- let the team know if you have trouble following that plan
