Your medical file is handled with the utmost respect for your privacy. Our staff is bound by strict confidentiality requirements as a condition of employment regarding your medical records. Ordinarily we will not release the contents of your medical file without your consent. Our Patient Portal is secure and an excellent way to keep up with all your medical records and information.
Most medical specialists will only accept referred patients. While this is not always necessary, it is partly to try to ensure that the specialist you are seeing is appropriate for you and your condition.
During your initial visit, the doctor will answer all your questions. Do not let your medical care provider leave the room until all your questions are answered.
