Patient Code of Conduct

Dear Prospective Patients,

I am committed to providing the best care to my patients. In recent years, access to treatment with me has become increasingly scarce as the demand for high quality care has grown. With this in mind, I have the following treatment guidelines:

My Role in Your Care

I serve primarily as a consultant in your care.

Please come prepared to clinic visits with your specific needs—such as requests for referrals or imaging—to maximize our ability to provide timely care.

I recommend that you maintain treatment with a primary care provider, as I do not provide ongoing prescription refills or routinely fill out paperwork (e.g., FMLA requests, return to work, etc.).

Between-Visit Communication

Our clinic strives to provide the best care while patients are in clinic and this is difficult if we are hampered by extensive between-visit patient requests.

Please limit these requests to urgent medical matters only, such as post-procedure concerns.

If you need to reach out to our staff for reasons other than urgent medical concerns, please be patient. Our staff typically responds to email and phone messages within one week.

Note that I do not communicate via email with patients and communicate by phone only to address urgent medical matters. This is to maximize my clinic time.

We are committed to treating our patients with respect and we expect our patients to treat all of our practitioners and staff with respect in return.

These guidelines may mean that my practice is not a good fit for you. If that is the case, please discuss with your referring provider. My aim is to serve patients who benefit from the care I offer, and while in my care, we will continue to assess your needs and modify your treatment plan accordingly.

Sincerely,

Virtaj Singh, MD
