Patient Autonomy

What about patient autonomy?
Patient autonomy is the right for individuals to make informed decisions about their medical care. The days of giving orders to patients should be a relic of the past. A doctor needs to engage patients as partners in the process, provide complete information on all choices, and to RESPECT and SUPPORT patient decisions, even if (especially if!!) they are not what we would recommend. In our practice, our goal is to help you achieve your health and wellness goals, not ours. Call or message if we can be of service!
