  • Inform my provider of any changes in my health or medications.

  • Follow the treatment plan to the best of my ability.

  • Review messages sent through the Patient Portal

  • Ask questions whenever I do not understand my diagnosis or treatment recommendations.

You understand that incomplete or inaccurate information may affect your medical care.

Diagnostic Testing and Referrals

Your provider may recommend laboratory tests, imaging, vaccinations, referrals, or other services when medically appropriate. You understand that I have the right to accept or decline these recommendations after discussing them with my provider.

Prescriptions

Your understand that:

  • Medication decisions are based on my provider's medical judgment.

  • Controlled substances may require additional evaluation, monitoring, or may not be prescribed depending on clinical circumstances and practice policies.
